Can anyone recommend a wax with short cure time and strong CT/HT? Is there such a thing? I'm currently using C-3, Candlescience FO's and HTP wicks. Zero HT after a month. So ready to ditch C-3 😅

Sorry another newbie question- when curing tarts, should they be left in the open or sealed up during cure time?

What would be the maximum temperature that CP soap could be safely cured at, in a low/dehumidified low air circulated environment? (edit: I'm not talking about the ideal, but rather just how hot can you go and still get away with it.) Also, when you are curing CP soaps with fragrances, will curing different fragrances next to each other "muddy" each other's scents? Should only similar fragrance accords be cured together? I live in Florida where humidity is normally a problem, but I have access to a storage room that is dehumidified, but has no AC. The temperature sticks at about mid 80's F and remains pretty constant, (about what a typical attached garage would be, but with lower humidity.) I've got my soaps curing down there for the time being, because I can't have scented things up at the house. I know the oils and formulation plays into DOS development, so my formulation is: 35% Olive oil 40% Great Value Shortening (beef tallow/palm oil blend) 20% 76 deg Coconut oil 5% Castor @ 10% superfat. There are clays (Moroccan Rhassoul, Red, and Rose) in some of these, mica in others, and all the fragrances are from CS. Another option for me to dry these bars would be to get a plastic tub container with a lid and put some desiccant in it and cure them up at the house. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Slainte, Sponie
