I know for myself, (I don't use this blend, but do use a 50/50 wax) that after 24 hrs if I can't get a decent throw, I usually don't use the oil. IF at 24 hrs the throw is decent, I then test again at about 4 days or a week---it is usually even better. There are many oils that will throw awesome at the get go, and just blossom after a weeks cure time. Any oil that requires a couple weeks just wouldn't cut it for me, as I make my candles to order usually, and I don't have the time to cure that long
