John, I agree with the above. adding my 2 cents... You'll need to keep it above 40 (60-70 is better) during the entire cure cycle or it could result in a hardened but weak bond. (i.e. 70 degree epoxy isn't going to bond well to a 30 degree hull, and if the epoxy or substrate gets below 40 before ful...
