I added wine finings to my rhubarb wine yesterday after stabilizing, I was expecting it to look quite clear by today but it looks more cloudy than before I added the finings, on the bottom of the demi john is particularly hazy and cloudy, any suggestions please?

My orange WOW took about 10 days to clear and it didn't seem to do anything for about 2 days so I would give it some more time.

Make sure the finings are well shook in. The brews I've fined have taken at least a few days to start to clear, so you might just need to kick back and wait.
I *think* rhubarb has a lot of pectin in it, so you might be seeing a pectin haze as well. Did you add a teaspoon of pectolase when you started the brew. No worries if you didn't - you can either leave it hazy or add the pectolase now and re-clear it.
