Does the baby oil leave a film on the water as I sail on a drinking water lake I bought one on eBay that just uses water and makes steam like smoke but if your after the black stuff I made the effect by using a tallow candle in a box below the stack

This is one of a few ships introduced in ww2 as steam turbines all variants of Grey only 7 were built out of 55 ordered from the period 1940 to 45 sold in 1949
She is a fibreglass hull wood deck with metal fittings I am told it’s Fine scale hull with a top made following I am waiting for back from fine-scale to confirm this a few details are missing but can remedy that it is one of there boats.
It turned out it was as some was special orders due to the variants in armament Grey Seal had a different configuration where as Grey Owl was double props and more guns and was wider
