I figured it would of been okay to directly spray it since alot of people completely submerge it anyways. Ill just spray the crap out of the walls, since i just harvested my first flush about 15 minutes ago and spray normally daily

Spraying it directly is harsher than submerging floating it. But it will work too

I dont think so... With mycelium tubs/cakes being as buoyant as they are, it exerts so much force on them trying to keep them underwater. Everything underwater is stressing to float.
Where as spraying is like a morning mist or a rain!

Ah, good point. I was thinking of floating it, not weighing it down.
I shouldn't post without my coffee

Id Dunk that sumbitch! at least 4 hrs. 
myc sinks (look at LCs), its the substrate that floats so your only putting stress on an inanimate object not the living myc (besides lack of oxygen/drowning it)

What should the substrate look like to ensure proper remoisturization?

It won't really look like anything.
There is tons of moisture in a bulk sub. Unless you have a very thin substrate you don't even need to dunk after the first flush. Nor should you worry about hydrating it like a cake.
You should avoid it looking soggy and sopping wet.

any excess moisture should be removed after 24hrs to avoid bacterial blooms 
if its not going to soak it up after 24hrs its not going to soak it up.

I'm a bastard to mine. I leave them in the tub with the liner and pour water from a jug straight on the substrate. Then I drain out the top and the top hole. Since I use a liner the water stays on top of the sub and barely pulls away the liner from part of the side.

You should start your own thread and not hijack others. Especially since what you're asking isn't related to the thread at hand.
