English term or phrase: weighting
Begin by weighting the pen top so that it floats vertically just below the surface of the water. To do this, add sticky tack to the base of the pen top, a little at a time, pushing some inside to reduce the air content and buoyancy. Test in the bottle or a glass of water, and if the pen top sinks, simply remove some sticky tack.

atribuição de peso


Explanation:
Para a flutuação. pode ser preciso adicionar e/ou remover. Portanto, o termo atribuição de peso seria mais adequado, na minha opinião.

lastreando


Explanation:
Comece lastreando a tampa da caneta

Basicamente deve-se colocar lastro na tampa caneta, enchendo parte dela com cola ou massa de modelar, para que flutue verticalmente. Foi o que eu entendi. Espero que ajude.
