I don't think the problem is oil from bad cumbustion. Normal combustion of Propane creates huge amounts of water vapor. The exhaust is basically saturated when it leaves the burner, if you have enough ventilation it's not a problem because the dry air mixes and brings down the dewpoint. In your case what probably happens is hot humid air from the burner hits the cold kayak surface (or fiberglass) and condenses so you get a bad layup.

If you ever done house constuction in the winter and use a propane burner for heat all of the surfaces will be literally dripping water in a few hours.

Hope this helps, David
