Hello - I'm redoing the deck in an 82 Nordic 16 and am using Epoxy. My question is about heating my garage as the temps are starting to drop and my garage is getting down to the high 50's at night. Has anyone used a kerosene or propane torpedo type heater while fiberglassing to keep the temp around 65?

It will cure at those temps, just slowly, so use a fast hardener if you can. Or heat it up later with whatever method you have available

Yup but...If you put a plastic tarp over the area and use heat lamps it'll work just fine and a bit safer too!!
