Hmmm... is it cold enough to freeze the glue, or are you just trying to
keep it "brushable"?

You can't let it freeze, even on the workpiece. It will curdle and lose
its effectiveness if you do -- even after it's applied!

You'd be better to borrow or rent a salamander and just keep the room
(and workpiece) warm enough to prevent freezing until it has a chance to
dry. Is the job worth a couple of gallons of kerosene?
