First, clean your tip really well and have good flame shape. Then make =
sure you have enough oxygen pressure and a good neutral flame when the =
trigger is pulled. Make sure you have enough preheat and a slow enough =
rate of advance. If that doesn't work then go up at least one size, =
maybe two. 3/4" is pretty stout. What brand of torch are you using? =20
