It's been a long time since I done a wine kit but as far as I can remember it's a couple of weeks to clear

How long can you wait?....time time time, it will clear but give it plenty of time

1 is good, 2 is better, 3 is enough & 4 isn't half enough

Thanks for the replies.its supposed to be a 7 day kit.the instructions say 24-48 hours to clear  but can take longer in difficult situations ,so I guess its a waiting game.do I keep it in 2nd fv until it clears ?
Thanks again

Leave it be for a couple of weeks, if not clear rack to a clean/sanitised carboy and wait some more.
The longer the better

Even with these 7 day kits, the wine will improve in the bottle over the next month. So get cracking on your next kit ASAP.
