I'm no physicist - but I find it hard to imagine the canola oil ever
drying..
best thing to do - par boil some parsnips - cooker on high then add
canola oil and maple syrup
cook for 20 mins - fantastic!
On a more serious note:
you could try drying the oil covered film in the oven on low for a while
perhaps-
but we need the words of mr Conrad on this I think.

16mm zonal clear leader)
Expensive cosmetics on film is the way forward!
