My drying box gets up to mid 80's now (basement temps are about mid-50's), and over 100 in the summer. 70 degrees is "normal" temp to cure, anything under takes longer, anything over it cures quicker.

Epoxies such as Glass Coat and LS Supremem cure extremely quickly in higher temps. When I say "cure" - I mean the time it takes for you to turn off your turning motor. About 3 hours each. LS cures hard enough that on an underwrap, 6 hours after applying epoxy I was wble to do my overwraps.
