Storage of the material for long term. 2.)Temperature of the material you are using. 1.)For storage, you want the material to be cool, but probably above freezing. 2.)For the other you need a controlled environment. Build an insulated box from cardboard that will house your epoxy mixer. Cut two doors in it one for the pump handle and one big enough you can hold a container under the nozzles when you pump out your Jeffco. Get a simple 120 volt baseboard heater thermostat and wire it to a standard light bulb socket. Use a 40 watt bulb and find a spot inside your box for the bulb and thermostat. Make removable insulated covers for your two doors to keep the heat in when you're not accessing the material. Plug the bulb/thermostat in and set your thermostat at a low setting then use a thermometer to adjust to get the temps right. The only undue hazard would be to improperly wire/insulate your heating apparatus, or to place the bulb directly against a flammable surface or the plastic containers that could perhaps melt. I bought a drop light from an auto parts store that has a wire cage housing for the bulb. I just set this on the floor of the container and it has a good air barrier around it.
