Ideal temp is 25 degrees. Anywhere between 18-30 degrees is fine. Any colder than that and you will want to warm up your resin and mould (hence the blankets). Any hotter and you'll want to keep an eye on your resins exotherm, don't mix large batches or you could get stuck with a bit of a mess!

I'm using a three setting heated electric blanket and an old duvet to keep a steady temperature as my work area is not heated at night.

once covered the infusion stays warm with the blanket set to low heat so a nice cheap and simple way of curing small parts.
