Umusenyi wa Quartz utanga imiterere yibanze yikirahure, uyiha ubukana nubushyuhe; ivu rya soda ikora nka flux kugirango igabanye gushonga kwumusenyi wa quartz no gukora ibirahuri byoroshye gukora; hekeste yongera imiti ihamye kandi iramba yikirahure. Byongeye kandi, abayikora barashobora kongeramo gake ya aluminium oxyde cyangwa borax kugirango bongere imbaraga hamwe nubushyuhe bwumuriro wikirahure kugirango barebe ko icupa ritoroshye kumeneka mugihe cyo gutwara no kubika.

Usibye ikirahuri ubwacyo, imipira n'ibirango by'amacupa ya whiski nabyo bikwiye kwitabwaho. Ubusanzwe, agacupa gacupa ahanini gikozwe mubikoresho byuma nka aluminium cyangwa amabati kugirango bifunge; amacupa ya kijyambere arashobora gukoresha imipira ya plastike kugirango ifungure byoroshye kandi re - kashe. Ibirango mubisanzwe bikozwe mu mpapuro cyangwa firime, kandi bimwe mubicuruzwa byo hejuru - bikoresha ibikoresho bidasanzwe nkimpapuro zidafite amazi cyangwa ibikoresho byangiza ibidukikije kandi byangiza ibidukikije kugirango bizamure ishusho yikimenyetso kandi bihuze niterambere ryiterambere rirambye.
Ibigize hamwe nigishushanyo cy’amacupa ya whiski ntabwo kijyanye nibikorwa gusa, ahubwo binagaragaza inganda zikurikirana ubuziranenge no kurengera ibidukikije. Mugihe ikoranabuhanga rigenda ritera imbere, amacupa ya whisky arashobora gukoresha ibikoresho bishya mugihe kizaza kugirango arusheho kugabanya ingaruka ku bidukikije no gukomeza uburyohe bwa gakondo.
