They`ll collapse and form mould quite quickly if they`re not fertile to begin with. With a healthy, fertile egg - mould and denting don`t usually go hand in hand (too little humidity/moisture help the egg sink, too much helps make mould). Just make sure that you`re incubating medium is just right to begin with - you can follow `albey`s method` (1 part water, 4 parts medium) or just soak the medium and squeeze until not a single further drop comes out. Also, it may be an idea to allow the tiniest amount of air flow around the eggs to stop the eggs stagnating/getting mould ie a few pin prick holes.
The eggs are getting mould once you`ve put moist tissue on them, coz you`re either leaving it on too long, or the tissue is too wet. But if you can get it so that they don`t sink in the first place, then there`ll be no need for the paper, so no mould.
have you tried candling the eggs to see if they`re fertile to begin with?
