How long ago did you oil it?

Depends, how many coats and how long ago you oiled the bat. It might just be happening because you oiled it recently. All you need to do is wait for it to soak in/dry up, or you can wipe the blade with a cloth, give it a gentle sanding with VERY fine sand paper, then brush all the sanding off and wipe the blade with a cloth again. That should do the trick! :)

Supposed to leave it for at least a couple of days mate, some people leave them for 4 or 5
