Other steps in the incense making process, such as mixing the incense materials and dipping the incense sticks, used to require a lot of arm power as well. Although machines can do much of that now, there are still some steps, such as the dyeing at the end, where if your wrist power isn't sufficient and you drop the bunch, then all your previous work will be for naught.
其他步驟如拌粉、滾香，以前都用手工，需要足夠的手勁，雖說現在已有機器代勞，不過有些動作像最後的染色，如果腕力不夠，整把香一散掉，就前功盡棄了。
