Scott,

Hold the bunsen burner. A better choice would be a liberal 
application of Crest toothpaste,water, and elbow grease. I've 
removed fairly bad coral scratches with this method. The burner 
method will adversly affect the optical characteristics of the 
dome if you don't melt a hole in it first.

Good Diving!
