It burns when I try to melt it.....Someone has recommended less propane / more oxy! It's so frustrating!!!

And....I'd love some tips on applying...is rolling in the frit the best and only method?

Try to hold your mandrel further out in the flame (less heat). That's what helps me from burning the glass when using frit or making small dots.
I roll my beads in the frit. I let the frit pre-heat and the just roll untill I'm happy with the result.
