SPI Epoxy how long at 70 degrees?

How long do I have to keep SPI Epoxy at 70 degrees before its considered safe to not worry about tempretures under 70 degrees?
 
Yes in winter that is what we live by as there are so many variables that can change things.
Summer even up north everything is on our side..
 
In the winter time, I put up a curtain in my booth and put a heater in there. The normal shop temp is always 50 or above, but in that curtain booth with a portable heater, it get it up to 110 easy and keep it there. So just cause of the variables, I will keep the 24 hours in affect for the winter.

Yes because the real issue is the metal temp, takes about 4 hours for metal temp to adjust to 5-8 degrees cooler then the temp the car is in, unless heat is blowing on the car.
So like above its around 70 and drops to 65, not a real big deal in summer.
 
When I spray SPI Epoxy, I make sure the metal tempreture and paint tempreture both read well above 70. Then I monitor the metal tempreture for the duration of the cure time to make sure it stays well above 70. If tempretures are projected to drop below 80 in the night, I curtian off the booth and surround project with curtians and crank up the heat with an auto thremostat to stay well above 70 until I get up in the morning to make sure my tempreture stays well above 70.
