bratrules1 inspired me to make some Hispanico.  I only had 2 gallons of milk but went for it anyway.  My regular 5 lb mold made a short wide funny looking cheese but now It's pressed and brined and waiting for some oil.  My question is how long do I wait before applying the 1st coat?

I would wait and apply oil after the rind no longer has a moist, cool feel.  This is usually 4-7 days in a 55F 85% RH cave.  Anytime after this is fine and there is no problem waiting several weeks.
