ALL ABOUT CONCRETE
Our concrete work is all individually hand cast from custom made rubber molds. Colors are integrally mixed into the concrete and results in each piece being unique. We use recycled materials and are able to create a finished product 30% lighter than traditional concrete (in our non-terrazzo pieces). Natural voids occur during casting and some pieces will have very small pin holes.
Are the concrete products food safe?
Although the sealer we use on our concrete is food grade and safe, we don't recommend using these for direct food contact.
What type of matches do you recommend using with the matchstick holder?
We recommend "strike anywhere" matches, which can typically be found at the grocery or hardware store. Please note that regular matches will not light when struck on the surface of our matchstick holder.
Should I expect my incense holder to catch all of the ash?
No. While it will catch most, some will inevitably be blown outside of the holder, especially if you are burning incense sticks or place the burning incense in a drafty area.
How should I clean the concrete?
Do not submerge in water. Wipe clean with mild soap and water.
ALL ABOUT INCENSE
Our charcoal incense sticks & cones are all scented with therapeutic-grade essential oils.
Tips for burning your incense sticks
Always burn your incense on top of a heat-resistant surface. We recommend using a metal, concrete, or ceramic dish. Don't have one? Check out the concrete incense holders we make in-house.
When ready, light the tip of the stick and allow it to stay lit for a full 5-10 seconds before blowing out the flame. The tip should glow red and produce visible smoke. If it doesn’t, re-light and repeat.
Let the stick stand untouched while burning. Keep away from fans and window drafts. Keep unused incense sticks sealed when not in use. For best results, burn within a year of purchase.
Tips for burning your incense cones
Always burn your incense on top of a heat-resistant surface. We recommend using a metal, concrete, or ceramic dish. Don't have one? Check out the concrete incense holders we make in-house.
When burning incense cones on something porous (like concrete), try adding a small amount of table salt or sand underneath the cone in your burner. This can protect your the burner's surface from singe marks while also increasing airflow so your cone can burn all the way to the base.
When ready, light the tip of the cone and allow it to stay lit for a full 10-15 seconds before blowing out the flame. The tip should glow red and produce visible smoke. If it doesn’t, re-light and repeat.
Let the cone stand untouched while burning. Keep away from fans and window drafts. Keep unused incense cones sealed when not in use. For best results, burn within a year of purchase.
