For now, I'm going to assume that Airlea is a genius, and I'm the village idiot lol.

Almost exclusively, I've used Perfection in crp for masks (finished product), and the majority, by far of the lth and wvr leves I've done have also been finished goods. When this was failing to take effect so badly the other evening, I was grinding fleece and leather on my lth. While I haven't had a chance to test this out, this could very well be the problem. After some sheepskin farming and next grind session, I'll report back.

If this is, in fact, the case, there is a huge difference between the two.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond.
