If your using glass, I still,use the old stand by smooth on.
For a little extra heat add a 100 watt light bulb near the form. Then cover the whole thing with a,sleeping bag or heavy blanket. Put something flame proof over the bulb to hold the cloth away. Over night and you should be good.

Why don't you want to use a hot box?  Is it a space limitation thing?  If so, you can make a hot box that is collapsable for easier storage.

There's a reason the professionals use hot boxes....

I built a hot box that could be put together and taken apart in minutes.
