one thing you need to check, when the airplane is cold soaked, the resin
will be brittle. I don't know what the limits on Ampreg are.
In the early days of flying glass gliders to hi altitude in winter,
(wave) several gliders were damaged ( had to be written off) when they
flew into rough air with the airframe cold.

Very efficient, 75% of the heating energy is taken from the lake.
