I have a strawberry wine that I put super kleer into a week ago. About 1/4 inch of sediment but still very cloudy. I'm figuring I need to add pectic enzyme. Should I rack first to get off the sediment from the super kleer or just stir it all up again with the addition of the pectic enzyme?
 
Let it sit for another 2-3 weeks. Mine was the same way - you will be surprised how much it will clear up in that time.

After that - if it is still hazy - rack off the sediment and then add the pectic in.
 
You should always degas your wine, then allow it to clear over 4-6 weeks. Keep it in a semi warm area as sediment will drop faster in a warm environment than a cool cellar.

Patience
 
I use a product called sparkelloid and it fines it usually within a couple of days.

it depends on the wone though i guess.
