A little more information would be useful. Are you using anhydrous calcium sulfate?

Yeah ! I know its better to dry the anhydrous calcium sulphate in the oven, but the sulphate smell all around my house, but my calcium sulphate work pretty nice because i put the compound in a airtight container ^_^

I tried this and OH MY GOODNESS it was so pretty. I loved it. And to tell the truth I guessed on the ratio. Like I knew it was 70/30 but my scale kinda blows so. But it was still great. Much, much better than KNO3/ Mg flash by far and not to scary.
