Title: Patching a puncture
Post by: Gustav on June 23, 2011, 05:00:21 PM
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. ::)

Sounds like you're patching a bicycle tire.  ;)

LOL. It's very similar. LAst night it puffed up & looked like a zit that's ready to pop at any time.
But this morning it went down. Maybe it leaked. But if I paint a liquid over it it isn't bubbling anymore.
