Default Using Fining Agents

I am going to use Kieselsol & Gelatin to fine some white wine that has
not cleared on its own and I am wondering should I rack the wine first
or just add the fining agents? There is a layer of sediment at the
bottom of the carboids and a friend of mine said that the fining
agents need something to hang onto, leading me to believe that the
more cloudy the wine is the better for the fining. Also how soon after
adding the Kieselsol & Gelatin should I rack the wine? Can I leave it
till it is clear or should I rack it within a specific time?
Thank you for your advice in advance.
