Epoxy: Can I keep on working in So. Cal

It seems that winter has sorta come to Southern California. My building activities are done in an atatched garage that is unheated but has living area above and on one side. The overnight temps have gotten into the 30's according to the dashboard of my car which is outside.
Can I do fiberglassing work if I heat the garage for a few days? Or is better to wait till the temps go back up in a few months. The only way I can think of to heat the garage is with small electric heaters. I can make some type of tent to limit the space that would be heated. Would like the opinion of the group.
Remember this is sunny California but the night temps do dip.
Thanks.
PS Anyone have any tips for the deck on an CLC Arctic Hawk kit--have to form one flat plywood piece over a form and then glue with thickened expoxy to the hull
