    No, you don't heat it. It is a term, somewhat derived from the fact that the catalyst reacting with the resin creates heat. 8)

    I thin my resin (but not the hardener) by setting my measured cup of it inside a larger cup of hot tap water.
    Warm does make life easier, but you don't want it hot.
