The halogen light trick worked perfectly, and was considerably less smelly also, perhaps because it dried faster and the fumes escaped all in one, rather than it drying over a period of time. The hardening seems to have worked well, only one real warp to be concerned about but I'm sure I can build that part out to make it symmetrical.
Here's the warp I mentioned. One side seems to have risen up slightly. I was considering cutting it and gluing it back down, perhaps I'll try that now and edit this with results. I'll be adding a second coat of resin, a little lighter than the first, just to add a little extra toughness to some more delicate spots, and some tricky parts that I may not be able to get fully with the fiberglass cloth on the inside.
For those following, also, the blue masking tape I used to put the helmet together held up perfectly against the resin, so that answers my previous question about how well it works!
More updates coming soon, have the rest of the day to work on this :]
UPDATE:
Body of the helmet is glassed, not glassing the faceplate due to the detail, and the fact that I absolutely despise fiberglass cloth. I'll rondo that later on once the glass has cured a little, will have pics then!
LOL, still got the gangsta lean!
