Guest guest Posted September 12, 2000 Report Share Posted September 12, 2000 Chris, what do you have for 1) herbs 2) woods 3) resins 4) other items needed for sale? Do you have frankincense? That is a resin, right? I heard we could use sawdust instead of saltpeter on combustible incense, is that true? Do we need it (saltpeter) for non combustible incense too? Thanks!

Non combustible means you have to supply the heat some other way, like charcoal. Non combustible incense is basically just herbs, resins, oils, and other smelly ingredients. No extra make it burn stuff:) Dew Drop Blessings,Soseneda Si hoc legere scis ninium eruditionis habes.ICQ# 47264444MSN Messenger: SosenedaAIM: SosenedaA"Knowledge is power.
