Dipping process

Was looking into wax sealing as part of the packaging for Papa Loko rum. Makers Mark is famous for its drippy red wax bottle seal. Found a informative website to show the processes that go into the production of the bourbon. Quote below is the technique to get the perfect wax seal. There are 4 sealers who individually seal every makers mark bottle made.

"Bottles are dipped upside down for 4 seconds in the red cauldron and brought up to the side before they are quickly spun around a few times to create the trademark tendrils of wax that drip down the sides."
