Hi Mzphee....I am in Illinois too and my husband's family are all from East Peoria!

I saw on a few thread's you use EL wax and are very pleased with it. I have used Ecosoya CB 135 for years but discovered a EL distributor within driving distance so have been testing EL wax. When I make wax melts (50/50 blend of Container/Votive) I have noticed that there is hardly no CT. 7-9% FO at 185*, pour 130. I have tested the melts after 2 days, 5 days, 7 days, 9 days and almost no HT at all.

I finally pulled one out after a 16 day cure and it performed great, really good CT and HT.

I guess my question is does EL wax really take 2 1/2 weeks to cure before I get a good, strong CT and HT?

Oh, I guess I should say, I use Nature's Garden, Candlescience, and Enchanted Lights FO's and all the FO's I am using performed AWESOME in Ecosoya and have been scents I carry for years so really wanting to make them work in EL.

Thanks so much for your time and I hope I haven't bothered you.
