Can I make a radiant heat panel element using copper wire? - how to wire a small aluminum boat

I try to construct a small group of radiant heat through copper telephone line to the son as a heating element. Neither I would use chrome wire, but not insulated wire in small quantities.
I use 110-volt household current and is looking for a maximum temperature of 150 degrees or less.
My plan for winding wire in a plane aluminum plate about 9 "x 12" Zig Zag. I think a telephone cord is 24 gauge. I need to know, should know how long the cable to produce the approximate time.
