Got New Driftwood From The Store,but It Doesn't Want To Stay In Th

[GRINYA]

GOt the Dry version and i want to put in the tank but it wont stay down, i had it in the bathtub for more then over night to get wet, but for some reason it's floating.
* Should i tie some weight to it or something?
* Or Maybe boil the water with it to make it havier?

I would tie it to some rock or something because it can take a month or more for wood to become 'waterlogged'.

i'll try but i don't want any wire or something to be visible.
I was thinking to drill a hole inside and stuff with some rock kor something, make it havy.

Most driftwood does float for a while, even the stuff sold as sinking driftwood. I drill a hole in a piece of slate and attach the wood to it with a stainless steel screw.

You only need whatever you attach to it to be on it for like a few weeks then the wood will have enough water soaked in to stay down by itself.

It depends more on the size of the slate. One screw works fine if you have a big enough piece of slate. I don't even bother with the thin slate used for roofing, 1/2" to 3/4" thick works better.
