I made an emmenthaler & it needs to go to the heated room in 3 days, but I noticed that it started swelling already. I was afraid thar the rind would burst, so I painted the cheese with plastic emultion. after about 8 coats, I noticed a small leak. about the size of a pin prick as it bubbles when I painted over it, so I places a small piece of plastic wrapping over it & sealed the plastic onder the emultion. It seems to work though. I will post a pic.
