I found glassing in the middle of Winter, was a pain.
Nothing like a July glass job.
Cold and epoxy don't mix.
How warm was your shop ?

I probably had my garage at 65 F for the job. I preheated the shop overnight with the baseboard and 2 space heaters to ensure it was at max temp. I them shut the space heaters off before starting to ensure temperature drop during the job to prevent wood off gassing. It was -8 F here yesterday so getting the shop hot was tough. When I did the seal coat the shop was chilly so I turned on a space heater before starting the seal coat. There were little bubbles all over the place that you could pop/crush with your finger after the epoxy hardened. It really showed me why you need to pre-heat the work. I'll keep the shop above 60 F for the next couple of days while the epoxy cures.
