I'm sorry that didn't work out. Unfortunately, I don't use Agar that much so I haven't come across the same problem. Did you let it boil until the sugar was totally dissolved?

I used about 1.5tsp of regular white sugar for every 1gr of agar agar powder. Should I have let the agar agar sit on the water for a while before putting in the sugar and letting it boil?
