Epoxy is not getting hard

I have been using West Epoxy, with the fast hardener. I have been working in my basment, temperature about 60 plus, applying the epoxy to various boat parts. I plan to do the final assembly in summer. I have been very careful to mix the resin and hardener in 1 to 1 portions. After two weeks the surface still feels soft and slightly sticky. Does anyone have any suggestions?

One thing I am trying is to put the parts in an enclosed area with an electric heater to raise the temperature to about 85- 90 degrees.
