Hand Roll vs. Dip Techniques for Making Incense Sticks

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Husam Iddin and on behalf of Expert Village, this segment is going to be on hand rolling and dipping incense. First of all we are going to use a charcoal incense. Your average 8 inch incense and what we do is we dip the stick first in oil. After you dip in the oil and it comes out, you move it over to the area which you have your resin. Then you take your resit and you roll it. You actually hand roll it so the resit becomes blue to the stick because the oil that you dipped in serves as a connecting to the charcoal stick itself. This process is ancient and is very time consuming but the fragrance that you get, you actually get a true aroma from the actual resit which you have here versus the roll. Next we will be dipping in oil.
