Epoxy: Faster Setting with Heat?

I am looking to make a repair to an older boat and the temperature has cooled here lately. I know that bring the temp back up to 70F or so will help the epoxy cure faster. But what if I bring it up to 90F? Or even 120F? Will I weaken the repair?

This is on the portage yoke for a 100# boat, so it is important it is strong. Which is why I can't risk the epoxy not being fully set before I go.
