One word: CONDENSATION

Bringing a cold boat into a warm room is a recipe for a serious condensation problem. I would expect that you'd end up with milky white epoxy. If you really need to work outside, there are cold-cure epoxies available that will work in 40 degree temps. If you have the option work indoors. Drop cloths are cheap.
