I had no issues when I hooked my hothead to a large tank of propane. Try working further out in the flame. A lot of the time newbies (including me) start out working too close to the flames. It takes the dreaded "PPP" (practice, practice, practice) to learn to work with any torch. With the hh being the first torch a lot of us learn on, including me, there is a wealth of information available to you here on LE.

It didn't sound like soot was your issue. I'm not sure what you mean by a "frosted look." Do you have the ability to upload pictures of the bead/s in question?
