Epoxy: Glassing in 20 degree weather

So my carbon fiber finally arrives.... two days after temps plummeted from 50 degrees, down to 20 (F). No heat in this shop, but I set up a plastic tent, over the future coaming, and I think I can get the temp up to 60, using a heater and halogen spotlights (hot buggers, those!).

What's your advice? Go for it, or wait until spring? (I vote 'go'..)
