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?
