: I'm locating a work space to build a kayak this winter, and the
: Chicago winters get pretty darn cold. The types of spaces I'm
: finding are mostly insulated but unheated garage spaces.

: I imagine this is a pretty common problem. What sort of heating
: solutions do you use for fiberglassing in cold spaces?

Well first you have to have electric available. No electricity, no lights and usually no heat. Much depends on the available utilities. If you have a source of electric then you can get cheap baseboard heaters and keep it warm. Baseboard heaters are relatively cheap.
