You can try this:
immerse you test specimen into a beaker with water (cover the specimen), and put it in an 70C oven and have observation every six hours. [Remember to refill the water for every few hours)
That's for Accelerating blooming.
Hope it can help.

I am surprised you have a problem with peroxide cured material. Blooming in peroxide cures is seldom a curative by-product unless there is something leftover from a switch from sulfur to peroxide. Other materials like wax, antioxidants and process aids will bloom. Sometimes you can scrap or disolve the material off the surface and identify it. Your compounder should be able to help you with this issue.
