You're very possibly holding it too far down into the flame, or have the torch turned up too high. It doesn't need to be cranked all the way up... There's a lot of tips in the tutorials and techniques section.
Moretti opalinos and alabastros are especially sensitive to burning.
Good luck!

It's a common mistake, easy answer.  I have some tutorials/articles on my site, one of them has a (really cheesy) diagram of where to work in a HH flame. Good luck!

When I was on a HH I could only use MAPP gas not propane. Propane is not a very clean burning gas in my area.
