Actually, very low solubility.

Uh, Terry,,,,,,,,,,,, Hence the response from our beloved Ron N,,,,,,,,,  

If you haven't tried actually doing it yet, which I bet you haven't, water won't mix with Naphtha. 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.

  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,
       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.
