4 days long enough to stabilize?

It's been 4 days since I added the sparkolloid, kmeta and sorbate to my skeeter pee. It's clear, but I just want to make sure 4 days is long enough for the kmeta and sorbate to do their jobs before racking and backsweetening.

I've heard people say they backsweeten and stabilize at the same time & other that wait a full 2 weeks. I guess I'm asking what the average required time would be for wine to stabilize enough to backsweeten, particularly skeeter pee.

False alarm, apparently degassing it yesterday when it was clear was a bad idea. I opened the bucket today and it's cloudy again.

Will it continue to clear at the rate it did before or did stirring it mess with the clearing agent? Should I add more sparkolloid or will it be fine in a few days?

It most likely wouldn't be fermentation because it's been stable at the expected FG for about a week & I haven't added anything other than the clearing agents and stabilizers. It's more like clear-ish globules floating around, not necessarily cloudy. Would this be the sparkolloid and what attached to it just floating around since I stupidly stirred it up?

Maybe, if you stirred it with the finings in there. Normally, you would add the finings and then rack off of them to sweeten later on.
