• Up to 50 unscented incense sticks

Explanation of DPG:

• DPG minimizes black smoke from burning incense sticks and helps infuse the fragrance into them.

• Pour the mixture evenly over the Punk part of the incense sticks, ensuring they are fully coated.
• Wrap the sticks tightly with aluminum foil to allow the scent mixture to fully impregnate the Punk.

Soaking:

• Allow the wrapped sticks to soak for at least 48 hours within your aluminum foil to fully absorb the scent mixture.

48 Hours Later:

• Unwrap the incense sticks that have been soaking for the past 48 hours.
• Place a rack on a baking tray and lay out the sticks to dry evenly.

Drying Process:

• The final product needs 2 days to 1 week to fully dry, depending on humidity and whether essential oil or fragrance used. Essential oils will dry faster.
