Malaysian driftwood should always sink. Its very dense. I have never had a piece that didnt sink.
the driftwood is somewat hollow so should i just glue it to a rock it is brown with some white on it
it is three pounds and has brown color and white around were the roots were cut off should i just epoxie it to a piece of slate?
All it takes is a tiny hollow somewhere deep in the wood to keep it from sinking. I had a piece that continued to float ~ a week after tannins stopped leaching, but after being held underwater in my tank, it eventually became waterlogged. Couldn't say how long it took, I just happened to notice it one day. Just gotta wait it out :/
