Foam latex taking soooo long to gel.

Hello there ! 
I am recently learning foam latex and attempting a grinch face. 
I have a well built ultra cal 30 mold that I made, and an ultra cal 30 core with a pvc pipe insert for pulling the mold. 
I have a small batch mixer, in which I run my piece with 
150 base 
30 foaming 
15 cure 
17 gel ( it’s cold here in Utah right now) 

I run my times at 
1 min mixing 
6 min whipping 
5 min medium refine 
and 5-8 min ultra refine 
1 min 30 sec for final mix once gel is in. 
I have added more and more gel agent / time to my DEAMONIA step yet it still takes over an hour for it to gel enough to bake. I am feeling lost,
yours truly,
