hey anjie- i buy the punk sticks ( already made) ,incense bags, and dpg here..http://www.madinaonline.com/ they're like $18 for a box of 10,000 they come in bundles of 100 or 500, i get the 500 ( the cheapest i've found so far, but their oils suck!) and then you mix 1 part incence oil ( i use a 16oz bottle) to 2 or 3 parts dpg -this mixture will make about 1500 sticks ( i put 10 sticks in a bag and sell them for a buck) then i pour it over the sticks, make sure they are saturated ( i do this in a big 'ole turkey roaster pan and i cut the red string off the sticks before i put the mixture on--it makes it easier) put them in big coffee tins stick side up to drain a little (long enough for me to sit down to bag them..lol) then put them in bags and label them..i've read on here that people let them dry for 24 hours, but in all the years i've dipped them i've never done that (and never had any complaints either). i always bag them up immediately after dipping. they will burn wet (and they stay that way for only a day anyway) and they seem to stay fresher longer when you bag them right away--if you want to take it a step further, and you don't want them to dry out you can keep them in the freezer or in a cool place. make sure u save any oil/dpg mix that drains off your incense-it can be used again. hth
