Actually, very low solubility. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin E.

Why? Because Naphtha is a petroleum product, and is not water soluble. In fact, My Father, the firefighter, told me more than one story about how burning Naphtha has a tendency to float on water. Not a pretty picture. ----- Original Message ----- From: pianolover 88 To: pianotech@ptg.org Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 5:39 PM Subject: Re: sluggish butt questions Ron, I actually meant naphtha and water, sans the silicone, for shrinking the bushings. I had been using isopropyl, which has water in it already, but I find the naphtha dries faster and shrinks the felt better. since then I've just been using the "baldwin method' of naphtha/silicone, 8.1.; works great! Terry Peterson >Terry, It would impress me more than I can possibly say if you could mix a small, or any amount of water into a silicone-naphtha mixture. You'd probably have better luck just using pterodactyl fat in the first place.
