you can also use a hairdryer. The chemical reaction that takes place in the resin never really quits, so it'll stink for weeks or months. If you heat up the helmet with a hairdryer, it'll reactivate the resin to hardener reaction, and drive off alot of fumes. The babypowder also works pretty well, but you might have to do a reapplication after a few weeks, depending on weather and such. If its hot outside and you're wearing the helmet, you'll start smelling the fumes again.
However, don't get it too hot if you're using a hairdryer. It'll start to bubble, and you run the risk of it catching fire. Trust me on that one.

Smell goes away with patience. Add some patience to it and the smell dissapears!

So, I know everyone else already said it, but I'm going to reinforce the idea of babypowder and patience. I just got some baby powder, drizzled it on, and rubbed it in with my hands (wear gloves). I did that all over the helm, and left it outside for a few hours. It knocked out a lot of the smell, but you still need to give it more time to get rid of most of it. That's just my two cents
Oh yeah, it had already been air drying outside for about 16 hours prior to the baby powder, and was a little tacky, so that's mainly why I used it, so the resin would harden a little better

im really glad i dont have to do all that with a poly resin. its so much easier but you pay alittle more but theres no health risk
I just leave it outside in the sun for a week and the small is gone. Otherwise, say I'm done bondoing and such, I spray paint the inside and outside black, then do some real spray work on the outside of the piece. The paint smell covers over the resin smell, and within a week, all the fumes come off the paint.
