If your Hysol freezes before it is cured it's garbage. I know cause I just had to buy more. The white part gets granular. In fact loctite says to replace it if it goes below 8C. If your garage is heated you should have no problem whipping up something to keep you warm. If you are worried about fumes and flame your best bet is having some sort of hot water piped into the garage going to a heat exchanger with a fan on it.

Cold is one thing, freezing another. I find that once I crank the heat up
with the torpedo blaster and run the duraflame for a while, all the "mass"
in the garage takes on heat. Then it's pretty simple to keep it warm (i.e.
above freezing) with electric. The real problem is heating the shop when
everything is cold. Everything cold and metal works against your heaters
until you get it heated for a few hours. However after that it's simple to
reheat, or keep warm.

I have built one plane like this, and am most of the way through a second
plane and it works for me.
