wine not clear

It varies between different wines and on temperatures etc, but 6 days is early and it may well take a while longer to clear. It will no doubt clear with more time, and finings are availabe to help with clearing if needed, some kits come with them;

Where are you in the instructions or method?

If you dont wait for the fermantation to fully stop, it will be difficult to clear it.

the wine is clear i can read through it i used the clearing agent suggested above but the thing still has a copper tint to it i put oak finnings in at the start as per instructions so do you think i am still ok ?

It sounds like it needs storing in the bottles for a while now to allow the full flavours to develop, and you shoud end up with a nice wine
