stab a stainless steel spoon through it

A quick zap in the microwave helps it to sink, but just don't over cook it, else you'll loose the majority of the goodness from the cucumber.

I use a device called a screwcumber, stainless steel corkscrew shape that weighs the cucumber down, it works ace.

Stick anything that sinks and will not rust into it. It'll sink.

Squeeze it.

Lead plant weights work well

Don't use lead. Try to find zinc or stainless steel instead.

how long do u warm it for ? i have 650 microwave

I wouldn't do it for more than 5-10 seconds. I can heat up frozen bloodworms in the microwave in under 5 so it doesn't take much.

I use the clips that you can buy at your LFS. Here are some links below.

You can use a spoon, but I use these little flexible weight things that came with some live plants I have and just jam it through it and drop it in.
