In my previous company we had a potting material that would not cure
unless the humidity was at least 50% and the temperature was 165F.  We
adapted an oven with a small humidifier bought at a local store.  We
later switched to a large stainless steel tray of water placed in the
bottom of the oven.  Both were a pain to work with and I would have much
preferred an alternative.
