The self fixturing heater includes an outer casing having a central channel therein for selectively receiving and retaining in friction-fit relation an elastomeric fixture from a nutplate fastener assembly that axially aligns the self fixturing heater with a nutplate fastener assembly. The outer casing encloses a heater element generally disposed circumferentially around the central channel and includes a thermal insulated cover to direct heat energy toward a heat transfer surface that includes a thermally conductive pressure pad in engagement with a substrate underneath a baseplate of a nutplate having an adhesive bonding agent thereon, the heat transfer surface imparting heat energy to the adhesive bonding agent thereby curing the adhesive in four hours or less.
