Default Cold glue joints

Are PVA (TiteBond II or III) glue joints which are left to cure in
cool-ish temps (50 degrees F or so) less strong than joints dried at
higher temps - or does it just take longer for the glue to set
strongly? Getting chilly at night now and not really practical to
bring glue-ups inside the house from my unheated shed.


Glue is temperature sensitive, will take longer to cure than during warm
weather.

Might consider using heat lamps over night on joints to speed up curing.
