If you can construct a double-plastic tent then I think you can get the temp to 70 F. Try the double tent. Heat it and see how warm it gets. If you get close to 70 F then you will be ok. Working at 60 F is pushing the limit to good absorbtion of epoxy into the wood...I'd think twice about working at lower temps when working with expensive materials.
