Resin Prewarming

Gidday,
I am wondering if anyone has some advice regarding the prewarming of my
resin using a Infrared heating lamp used for heat therapy after sporting
injuries etc. It is becoming quite cold, relatively speaking, and my
workshop overnight is dropping to about 12 degrees Celsius. My
airconditioner if left on for about 3 hours can prewarm everything I
suppose, except of course if you raise the ambient around a container with
cold fluid in it, the time it will take to warm it be conduction will be
long. These heater lamps are very good. I can place it in such a way that
it is only the resin canister on my resin pump that gets the heat, and with
periodic stirring I was wondering if anyone would shy me away from this
technique. I am aware that a resin cupboard may well be a good option, but
I have the bulb already and in 20 seconds it can be doing the work. I also
find a resin cupboard tends to kill your hardener quicker than I would
prefer. The hardener is far more sensitive a material. 
Anxiously awaiting the knowledge.
