Epoxy and cold weather question

I want to epoxy a few padeyes (screwed into wooden blocks) into the interior of my kayak. I live in a small apartment and all kayak work must take place outdoors. The weather is unseasonably chilly down here in Atlanta. Between day and night the temp has been fluctuating from around a high of 60 to a low of near freezing. Would there be any problem with attaching these wooden blocks to hull using regular slow dry epoxy. Would it just take longer to dry or would, even after if fully dried, result in a weak attachment?

Thanks,
Dave Walker
