You don't have to be anything like 30C !.  I am further north than you 
(Edinburgh) and had to put 1 megwatt.hour into a well insulated garage 
last Feb/March to maintain 21C. Things take longer to cure but it is 
entirely acceptable, and you shouldn't perspire much in that unless you 
are frantically filing, or panicking ?

The oven soak is another matter. We used the packing cases to build one 
long enough for the wings. Added a suspended floor, a foot off the ground 
with two 2kw. fan heaters below, circulating warm air into the upper 
compartment, where the wings, tail stood vertically chordwise.  Tests 
showed that the temperature was pretty well uniform where it mattered. 
Control was by five series wired thermostats along the top, with led's 
visible from the outside to see which ones were firing. Very cheap, and 
worked fine.
