I'm a candler and I hand dip tappers that turn out uniformed and consistent.
The way to keep your dipped tappers from turning out lumpy and inconsistent is to make sure your wax is at a consistent temperature of exactly 100 degrees. To do that you warm over a double boiler. Then, after you dip your wick in the wax you will lift, count to ten and then dip into room temperature water, a quick in and out. Let the water wick off, allow them to sit until seized and then continue with building up layers.
I understand this isn't the way they did it back then, and this is a historical channel, but for anyone wishing to use and updated method.
And as for your molded candles, slightly heat your molds and keep them warm before you pour the wax. Cold molds with make your candles inconsistent. Warm mold helps the air bubbles rise to the top of you tap the molds on the side. You can also coat the inside of the molds with a fine layer of tallow, which will help the candles release when cooled. Pour warm tallow into the molds and then pour out, after which you will rund a rod with a small bit of cloth on the end making sure to get out any excess. You want a very fine layer running up the sides. This will help the wax to release from the molds, and you only have to do it once with new molds. Seasoning the molds is important. There are modern chemical wax release agents, but tallow works fine and better.
I've been candling for 25 years and have sold many candles. I've had other candlers ask my how my hand dipped candles are so nice, well that's how. If you keep dipping while the wax is still warm on the wick and your tub of wax isn't at a consistent temperature, your candles come out lumpy and you have to do a finishing roll. I NEVER have to do a finishing roll for mine. Also, between each 10 dips, nip off the wax drip at the end. This will keep the bottoms from flaring out to much and make a nice bottom that will fit into a candle stick. And make sure to season your wick by dipping it into the hot wax and letting it sit there until the bubbles stop. If you don't season your wick it creates air pockets that can also make them lumpy.

Rolled candles too. Rolling wax that is shaped like honeycomb is a modern thing, but rolling sheets of wax around a wick is centuries old.π

Clearing an ancient farm, I discovered an old candle factory, dismantled but workable. A friend's brother gave me a hundred dollars. He was supplying fancy candles to fancy places, restaurants etc.

I heard two ways: dipping and casting with moulds.

There is the wax press method. You have two sheets of warm wax. Put wicks on on layer, put the other layer on top. Than cut into strips and press those in molds. It is very very fast compared to using hot wax and have that cool down.

The first school I went to was a Steiner school. For a Christmas event, they would bring out all sorts of hand crafted items, usually from teachers or parents. Iβm talking really nice hand crafted stuff having to do with nature and things. Hand carved characters from folk lore type stuff. But they also had rooms for crafts, including dip candles! It was my favorite room and the smell was amazing. It was so amazing to see the candles at different stages. Then they would sell the candles or use them for classrooms

at my orthodox church, we make thin and long candles, we have two barrels placed in either side of a molten wax bath, we wind about 50 windings if 21 ply thread onto one barrel and we feed it under a spool in the molten wax and through a die onto the other barrel, we then repeat the process and moving up bigger sizes on the die, until we lay it out and cut to size, melt the tips.

I've made candles by dipping! I really enjoyed it because I fiddled with it as I was doing it, so they came out in twisting shapes instead. Made a pink one and set it in a pretty jar with sand and pebbles, called it The Worm.

To the whole of the Townsends crew, thanks for keeping the early seventeenth century alive. I'm a Brit, and it's interesting to learn both how your colony(colonies) differed from my country, and the origins of many of your distinctions.
Thank you for the quality content, day after day, year after year, thanks each and every one of you.

In the 1970s making candles was a popular hobby. One of the methods was using sand as a mold.

In elementary school we had a Laura Ingalls Wilder Day. It was a few days in spring when an area outside was made up to be like in the 1870s. Hay everywhere, old artifacts and a mock school house. Old-timers playing the fiddle. There was even a large teepee there. There was also a section where a group of ladies in 1870s attire would show us how they made candles using the dipping method.

My family always made a huge batch of colorful dip candles every year- some of my favorite memories are sitting on the kitchen floor surrounded by newspaper with huge pots of colored melted wax and a string tied to a wooden skewer

Disappointing that it gives no information about the 3rd method, but instead ends. I still only know 2 methods.

In th 2nd grade we made dipped candles.
There was hot wax at either end of a long table. And the kids would walk in a circle. By the time we got to the other wax pot the layer we just did was dry enough to accept more wax.
The table was lined with newspaper for the drippings after we pulled it out of the wax each time.
We made surprisingly nice candles for a bunch of 7 and 8 year olds.

I have made quite a few candles. Never heard of a poured candle. Fascinating.

"We are all familiar with candle molds!"
me who has never thought about the candle making process once in my life: mmmm.. yes

As a kid at an apiary we made candles out of beeswax. We took a flat piece of cold honeycomb, put a wick in it, and then rolled it into a candle. No melting was done.

I loved the "Ye Olde Candle Shop" in the Old Town section of St. Augustine, FL from my family trips to Florida. And yeah, candle making had a real surge back in the 70s. I still have several of the molds from then. Once was a cylinder, a tall star shape and a sphere to make a big round candle. I also still have blocks of paraffin wax, wicks and a candle making thermometer. Looking back, I'm glad we didn't catch the house on fire.

I always found that dipping made better candles, as with molds the wick sometimes get misplaced. It was just that dipping takes vastly longer.
