Sorry but I meant If it's waterlogged and Im setting the hardscape in let's say in 3 days. Will it dry out that fast again and float. How long will it stay waterlogged from going wet to dry.
I currently have a piece of spiderwood that I submerged in a bucket for a couple weeks it had sunk, I allowed it to dry for about three days (started but didn't actually do the remodel until then) and now over a month later the thing still needs a rock on it to keep it down. I've never had such a stubborn dw before. I've had wood sink in a day or a couple weeks but just FYI I don't think all pieces follow the rules some (like mine right now) are rebels and want to float forever lol
Are you sure it's spiderwood? I think the term is thrown around very loosely. I've sold and used a lot of spiderwood (Rhododendron root) and it usually sinks in just a few days.
Yeah I'm sure it sunk in a day or so the first time around.... I have no idea why it doesn't sink now lol it's not super buoyant and I just have a small stone holding one of the branches to the ground but if I take it off it slowly floats back up. It's naughty since I placed it. I've never experienced anything like it with any wood before.
It's the first piece, there are a couple in there it's hard to discern. And I guess the base might be more like 6" across but it's only an inch or so thick.
If you have a pan big enough...boil it for a few hrs before it goes in but do it when you are ready for placing it
