Huh? What is it you're mixing? Naphtha and water? And if so, how'd the =
silicone get in there? =20
    Look, if you take a petroleum product like Naphtha, mix it with =
water in a bottle, and shake it real hard, it becomes an emulsion, and I =
suppose you could use it in that state, but it really doesn't dissolve =
to become a compound. It will separate out. I suggest you re-read both =
of the below posts and look for discrepancies.=20

  Terry,
  You must have some pretty interesting water where you live, since =
