How Long to Dry Before Bandaging

[nikro000]

Hello, I am new to the wonderful world of bandaging cheese.
I would like to bandage my cheese for the first time very soon (I'll make a cheddar). The WAXING process asks for the cheese to dry for a few days. I never see that in the bandaging process. Can the cheese be bandaged right out of the press, or does it need to dry?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,
No need to dry, you bandage straight out of press.
