One method for making incense

100% fragrance oil is too strong for the incense, and will make very smokey incense! You must blend it with another oil. This is called a cutting oil such as Jojoba or Grapeseed. Use incense cutting oil to mix with your fragrance oils at 2 parts blending oil to 1 part fragrance oil. Just shake in a bottle or stir well. Do not use alcohol in place of blending oil.

There are 3 ways to saturate your incense sticks.

• You can soak the sticks in a tall narrow container
• You can lay them in a tray such as a utencil drawer organizer, and soak them in oil
• You can lay the sticks in a long container and then use an eye dropper to saturate the stick while turning it to coat all sides.

After saturating your incense allow them to dry for at least 48 hours. You may want to suspend the incense sticks over a jar to catch the fragrance drippings into a container for use again. They will be ready to burn after drying for 2 days. You can use a fan to speed up the drying process, or lay the sticks in the sun. Do not place incense sticks in an oven.
