Hoʻokaʻawale nui ʻia nā pāpale i: nā mahiole piha, nā mahiole 3/4, nā mahiole i uhi ʻole ʻia, a me nā mahiole hapa. Koho mākou i ka nui o ka mahiole e like me ka hiki ke koho i ke ʻano o ka mahiole e hoʻoluliluli i ke poʻo a ʻaʻole hoʻi e haʻalulu, a ʻaʻole hoʻi e ʻaʻahu nui i ka uhi pale lalo i ka wā e kau pinepine ai i ka mahiole.
ʻO ka ʻaoʻao o loko o ka mahiole pono e hoʻolako ʻia me kahi liner-pale i ka hopena. Pono e loaʻa i ka liner kahi awāwa ea me ka hohonu ma mua o 10 mm e hōʻoia i ka holo ʻana o ka ea i ka mahiole. ʻO ka ili o ke kino he 5 mm, a he māmā a ʻoluʻolu kona manaʻo i ke kau ʻana i ka mahiole. ʻAʻole paʻa, ākea ākea o ka ʻike, maopopo a ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, a ʻaʻole i emi ke kahua o ka ʻike maka ma lalo o 105° i ke kūlana paʻa.
