Default Fining problem

I just fined a batch of Steuben with gelatin. The wine has gotten cloudy,
evidently not enough tannin in the wine will make it cloudy. I assume that
is the problem from what I have read, if tannin is low =, it should be added
befor efining with gelatin. Can I still add tannin to get the wine to clear
or is there something else I can try?

Thanks

Hit it with Kieselsohl, about 1 ml per gallon, and stir it up good. That
might do the trick.

Kieselsohl is often used to counterfine gelatin.
