What are waves and mold-slump? Are these caused by old molds or by pulling
the elements out of the molds before they are fully hardened or whatever?

I have seen more edges with a bit of plastic still attached, stringy plastic
on the tops of studs, incompletely formed tubes, even slightly mottled
bricks -- let's not forget the more interesting first run of dark red elements.
