Ko te mīhini takai whakawhiti te taputapu whakaputa matua tino nui i roto i te tukanga whakaputa o te whakawhiti. Ko tōna mahi takai ka whakatau i ngā āhuatanga hiko o te whakawhiti me te ataahua o te koiri. I tēnei wā, e toru ngā momo mīhini takai mō te whakawhiti: te mīhini takai whakapae, te mīhini takai poutū me te mīhini takai aunoa. Ka whakamahia ēnei momo i roto i te whakaputanga o te whakawhiti i roto i ngā mara rerekē. I te whanaketanga o te hangarau, kei te ahu whakamua te mīhini takai. He tino nui hoki, ko te nuinga e whakaatahia ana i roto i te mahi me te mahi takai. Ka kōrero poto mātou mō te whakamahi tika i te mīhini takai whakawhiti.

Te whakatakoto tika i ngā tawhā o te mīhini takai o te whakawhiti hiko:

Ahakoa ka taea e te mīhini takai te mahi noa, kāore rānei, ā, he mea nui te tautuhinga tika. He rerekē te mīhini takai whakawhiti i ētahi atu mīhini takai, ā, nō ngā taputapu puhoi te oma. Nā te mea ko te tukanga whakaputa o te whakawhiti te whakatau i ngā whakaritenga tīmatanga auau me te taipana pumau o te taputapu, ko ngā tawhā hei whakatakoto mō te mīhini takai o te whakawhiti ko: ko te maha o ngā hurihanga kua whakatakotoria ko te maha o ngā hurihanga e hiahiatia ana e te taputapu kia oma ai i runga i te tukanga whakaputa, e wehea ana kia toru ngā wāhanga. Me mōhio ko te tautuhinga o te tapeke o ngā hurihanga me te maha o ngā hurihanga e rite ana ki ia raupapa taahiraa ko te tapeke o ngā hurihanga he rite ki te tapeke o ngā hurihanga i ia raupapa taahiraa. Ko te tautuhinga o te mahi mangere he tawhā noa hoki, e whakahaere ana i te puhoi o te oma o te taputapu i te wā e tīmata ana, e mahi ana i te tūranga o te tīmatanga ngawari me te ārai waka. Mā te tautuhinga tika ka taea e te kaiwhakahaere te whai tukanga ki te urutau ki te taumahatanga i te wā e tīmata ana te mīhini takai. He tika ake te whakamutu i te mīhini me te ārai ina rite ki te mutu; ka whakamahia te tere oma hei whakahaere i te tere hurihuri o te taputapu i te wā e oma ana. Me whakatau te whakatakotoranga o te tere hurihuri me te tukanga whakaputa me ngā āhuatanga mahi tuturu o te takai. Ki te tere rawa, ki te puhoi rawa rānei te mahi, kāore e pai mō te hanganga o te koiri. E kore e pai te whakahaere tere o te kaiwhakahaere, ā, ka piki ake te wiri me te haruru o ngā taputapu. Ka pā nui te mahi i te tere iti rawa ki ngā taputapu. Ka pā anō hoki te kaha whakaputa me te whai huatanga o ngā taputapu ki te putanga taipana o te pou matua o ngā taputapu; ka whakamahia te mahi taahiraa-i-te-taahiraa hei whakahaere i te raupapa mahi o ngā taputapu, e whakatauhia ana i te nuinga o te wā i runga i te tukanga whakaputa. Ko te hanganga me te takai o te koiri ehara i te mea ko te takai noa i te waea enamel, engari he maha atu anō hoki ngā mahi, pērā i te paparanga pepa takai, te kakahu whakamahana, me ētahi atu, nō reira, mā te whakatakotoranga tika o te mahi taahiraa-i-te-taahiraa ka tino whai hua te taputapu.
