sluggish butt questions

l it sure worked for me at a ratio of about 8.1. mixed in a clear bottle and 
then applied it; no problem. I found, though, that in most cases, the water 
wasn't a necessary ingredient to shrink the bushings, but silicone added the 
much needed lubrication, once the excess moisture was leached out of the 
bushing, via the naphtha.

Terry,
You must have some pretty interesting water where you live, since naphtha 
isn't soluble in most folks' water, at least according to an MSDS or three I 
just looked up. I see Kevin's Dad seems to think so too.
