Production steps:
Step 1: All the basic tools are here.
Step 2: measure the powder, one to one.
Step 3: Add the sticky powder and stir well, otherwise it will be difficult to stir well when adding water in the next step. Uneven powder sticking will lead to mold sticking in the later stage, which will not form a good fragrance and lead to the failure of fragrance making.
Step 4: Add water and stir. Water must be added bit by bit. You can add a little more at first, and stir less as you get to the back. It is advisable to keep stirring, so that the incense sticks don't scatter and stick to hands.
Step 5: Filling the fragrance mold and compacting.
Step 6: Cut off the excess powder. Excess powder can be made repeatedly, so don't throw it away.
Step 7: Insert a chopstick from the middle, and be careful not to poke it to the end. This is the most important key to making cloud. The deeper the smoke, the faster the smoke, but the smoke is broken and rises.
Step 8: Open the mold and make incense.
Step 9: bask in incense. You can have direct sunlight in winter, but not in summer. High temperature will dispel the fragrance of powder. Generally dry in the shade, depending on the dry weather for 7 to 20 days.

If you don't open the window in winter, it will smell. You can light a stick of incense to add flavor, but it is recommended to pay attention to ventilation when lighting incense. Yunxiang is fun and fragrant. Come and have a try!
Second, homemade incense ashes (taking incense from the fire)
At present, there are many kinds of incense ashes sold in the market, and many people are used to choosing incense ashes imported from Japan. Actually, it is not. I have used many kinds of incense ashes imported from Japan, and the results are not very satisfactory. It is very important to choose what kind of incense ash. If the incense ash is not natural, it will have some pungent smell after heating. If the incense ashes are close to the smell, the fragrance will be inhaled into the body. If the incense ash has a little odor, it will have a certain impact on the effect of tasting incense.
Pine needle incense ash is an ideal one of the incense ashes I have used. It has excellent fire protection effect, cleanness without impurities and low price. Imported high-grade incense ashes are expensive, and the fire protection effect is not as good as that of domestic pine needle ashes. Try it if you like.
