I know that the required temperature for curing epoxy has been discussed before.

According to the T-88 data sheet, it can be applied down to 35 degrees with no change in characteristics, although it will take a long time to cure.

I have been thinking of building a heat box so I can do some glue-ups this winter (but by the time I collect enough "round-tuits" it will be spring!:)). If I can keep the temperature above 40 degrees I will be happy.

But I was wondering, if there was a particularly cold night---still got 3 weeks left in February---and the temperature in the heat box went below 35 degrees, will the curing continue when the temperature went back up?
