dip it in water and freeze it? put it in a flotation device.

Provided that the dense solid substance you wish to float is fluid-proof, you have to reshape it to displace a higher weight of fluid than the weight of the more dense solid substance.
There is no getting around Archimedes; you have to displace the amount of fluid that is equal to the weight of that which you wish to float. You can only do this by shape or density.
You know - you can make anything skim on the water if you get it going fast enough, regardless of buoyancy. This gets into "lift" and "drag". Don't stop, or you'll sink.

All different components (that all of us be responsive to of) behave in the prevalent way (good greater dense than liquid), and in some techniques water does besides. on an analogous time as organic ice, or ice-1h, is way less dense than water, there are particularly a minimum of 12 different varieties of excellent and amorphous ice that is carried out at quite a few pressures and temperatures lots of that have densities greater advantageous than that of water. the main dense type that i'm responsive to is amazingly-severe-density amorphous (VHDA) ice with a density of a million.26g/cm^3.

By attaching masses that are less dense than the fluid

Drill a hole in it or build up walls around it. If the average density of the object and the air it encloses is less than that of the liquid, it will float.

Inrease the surface area by making it into a thin sheet and the surface tension of the fluid will support the material i think.

The indians did this and they called it dugout canoes. The navy welds heavy steel plates together and calls it a warship. when you deep fry french fries, they intially sink to the bottom of the fryer but as they heat up, they start to float.

shave off a thin flat section and lay flat on the static fluid in question, the surface dynamic tension will support your object

Yes. Make it into a boat.
