Tools: warming up kayak from inside

Hi all,

I make preparations for closing some seams with thickened epoxy. Because I need good temperature, I think of warming up the kayak from the inside: ..I need a enery-saving, cheap, reliable method with good distribution of the warmth to minimize tension.
What I have in mind is just a principle: ..a small unit (1 lightbulb) combined with a small fan ("PC fan") to distibute the warmth evenly. The deck openings could be covered with plastic to keep the heat inside. It should be easy to build such a tool.
What do you think?
