If you still wish to use JB Weld ... in the cold.

Clean area well with lacquer thinner to remove all traces of oil or grease.

1. Setup a 110 volt heat lamp to shine on the area. (assuming this is inside a garage where wind is not a factor.)

2. I would test for several hours (using infrared temperature gun) before applying JB and adjust the distance so that the temperature does not get too high.

3. The heat lamp should keep it warm enough to cure the epoxy.

In general my experience with JB is that the fast cure stuff is not as strong as regular curing JB.
