My deepest condolences for your loss. I just discovered Ken's page a day ago when I ran across his DIY melting point apparatus video. Ken was clearly a talented, inquisitive person. I am excited to dig back through the archives of this website and explore this man's passion for experimentation and I'm grateful that you continue to maintain it!
Sincerely, thank you.

Thanks for keeping his stuff up. I just had the idea the other day to mix baking soda & rtv silicone together to make silicone foam since I knew acetic acid was a product of rtv curing process. I figured I'd do a quick google to see if anyone else has had this idea. It seems Ken did! Good info in his log about it and will be taking his results into consideration with my own experiments into it. Thinking of going for a small amount of high purity acetic acid to cut down on the water content introduced into the mixture.

I discovered Ken's "reusable-molding-material-homemade". It's simply THE BEST, all natural, multi-purpose compound.

Ken's willingness to share the formula, method and address everyone's questions is a display of how remarkable he must have been as a person and chemist. I love how he would always encourage folks to "share with us as we can all learn." I read EVERY communication within that post. I was captivated by the ability to learn immeasurably more than I ever thought!

Absolutely love how Ken responded so kindly and sincerely to each and every question, even when the question and answer had been shared 10x before.

When I, too, encountered the comment that the post was in memoriam, my heart sank. It was as if I had lost a friend.

Please be encouraged to keep this information available. Ken, in his knowledge and willingness to share, is a blessing and encouragement to us all.

I am so very sorry to hear about Ken. I had been searching for a safer way to make a silicon-type mold when I came across Ken's video on You Tube and found his blog. I am looking forward to reading all of his comments. Thank you for keeping his invaluable work up for us to learn by.

I am so sorry for your loss. I just discovered this site today, searching for answers about curdling milk, and from your father's post also learned another fascinating bit about a use of polymers formed after milk has separated. I enjoyed reading Ken's post so much that I decided to sit down and look through the archived articles for a while over a nice coffee, which brought me first to this "in memoriam" post.
Thank you so much for keeping this site running.
