Question Black pupil of the Evil/Turkish eye.

Good afternoon all you fabulous glass workers,

I have recently upgraded to a mega minor that I'm running with propane/oxygen on a concentrator.

My go to "warm up my hands" bead is to do a couple of evil eye beads.

Since I've started using my new torch, I've noticed a problem with the black (pupil) layer of my bead.

If I use Intense black it bleeds into the white (this might happen on my hot head too, but I never tried it).

I switched back to using Effetre Black (just the regular black) to do the pupils but the result is that it's going brown.

I think it might be a heat control issue, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else come across this when working with Effetre Black on a minor burner?
