A good trick to keep these kinds of cheese from adhering to the cheese cloth is to acidify the cheese cloth with a bit of vinegar wash. Mine never stick now.

I did soak in vinegar but I still had one area that just ripped off.  Oh well.

I know I haven't made very many cheeses, but to throw my two cents in, I use poly web disposable cheese cloth.

I have had no problem with any cheeses sticking. I think this is also what Sailor Con Queso uses.

Don't be fooled by the name disposable. I have used mine multiple times is still good.

I rinse in hot water and sterilize it with the no rinse product STERAMINE .

My issue with the "disposable" stuff is that with a very heavy cheese, when you're trying to pull it up around the sides to minimize the wrinkles, it often tears.  Have you had that problem?

Try soaking your cloth in the whey from your make,  the PH will be the same as the cheese, it shouldn't stick.

I made my first butterkase recently. Soaked the cloth in whey but it still stuck. Something I've never had with any other cheese.

Sorry, Alice, I'm coming to this a little late. :-[

I have had some success with my Beaufort #4 and Beaufort #6. If you search on Beaufort, you'll find there is quite extensive dialogue.

Soak in whey and vinegar. If the cheese sticks, spray vinegar directly on the stuck part, leave 1-2 minutes. You can rinse the cheese in whey to rid of extra vinegar. This works for me.

Sailor's recipe was delicious.  I'd show you but I ate it all.  Going to try this again.
