S&G: Epoxy in cold temps

I have a wonderful wife who graciously let me start my kayak in the living room
(started right after Thanksgiving). Patience has worn thin and I am relocating my kayak building shop to the garage. Temps here in MI are still cool (next few weeks may be 40-50 degrees days and 30-40 degrees nights but could easily be colder). I only have the "standard" System Three hardener (generally to 60 degrees). I will be joining the deck to hull and then glassing the deck. Am I limited to waiting until warmer temps or can I use the epoxy and just plan on longer cure times?
