F15hguy Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 just avoid anything too porous or soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketman Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 That, and I have previously soaked driftwood in a bucket for a couple days with daily W/C using hot water pouring over it. Helps remove some of the sand/salt and starts it sinking-if it was floaty before. The hot water not neccesary, but I have watched tiny bubbles stream out of a peice of wood using this method... There is nothing wrong with a blast with the hose a quick scrub over and "chuck it in, bro!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF (Can think of possibly amusing response=1) THEN Make humorous post ELSE IF (Have something valuable to add=1) THEN Make helpful post ELSE Ignore END IF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
