I think you're missing a decimal and a place? If it's at 1.010, and still at 1.010 at least three days later, then it's done.

I'd bottle, if the beer was clear. Sometimes it clears right away but sometimes it's slower to clear. You can bottle once the beer is clear, and doesn't have "floaties" in it when you take a sample.
 
yes 1.010 is what i meant. ive read that the gravity should drop by about 75-85 percent, obviously this isnt near that. does that just make for a weaker beer?
