All good things are worth waiting for!
 
jeez. we had a couple of pieces that took a couple of months to sink. it helps if you have LARGE piecs to weigh it down. but yeah, be patient
 
You can put bricks on them to sink them. They'll take up water faster if fully submerged. Bricks are in the neighborhood of 35 cents apiece at Home Depot or Lowe's.

I have also found that 20 minutes of boiling makes them sink faster.
