So you're saying the sub is sitting underneath the water?

Yea. I tried banging it on a table to try to loosen it, still not floating. Really hope i didn't fuck it up by banging it

I'm having a hard time understanding what could be happening here... is your sub actually stuck to the tub?
are your fruits submerged in water now?

Yea i tried filling it woth water to float it up, but it's just not floating. It's like it's glued to the tub.
No I stopped before it reached the top. Didn't want the fruits to submerge. Do you think knocking it in the table stalled any future flushes?

If you stopped before it reached the top of the sub, maybe you just didn't add enough water to get it floating? If its actually stuck to the tub, maybe just reach in and pull it up
Maybe a pic would help if you didn't already dump the water?
Sorry, strange situation and not sure what's happening

I had this happen before. I just took my tub and twisted it a little bit. This popped the sub off the bottom and it floated right up.

Just dump the water out and go in with a pair of scissors. Floating your sub is new. I don't even do it.

I've done this with success. Just takes a bit of twisting and turning,should loosen it up.

Same here.
Had two shoeboxes have there sub stuck on the bottom, I had to twist the tub by grabbing it by the handle area and twist from there a little bit and then push with my hand on the bottom of the container to get it free. Kinda like a tiger drop with a mini round.

i think the old twisteroo should work BUT... MAYBE you sub is already super saturated. do you mist WAY too much and start your sub WAY over capacity?
