Biofine Clear and bottle conditioning.

I used Biofine Clear at a fairly low dose: 10 ml in 5.25 gallons of Cream Ale. The beer dropped brilliantly clear and now after a week of conditioning at 65 deg there is hardly any yeast sediment in the bottles. Tonight my curiosity got the best of me and I popped the top on one and got just the faintest hiss of carbonation. Should I be concerned at this point? Generally my beer would be fairly well carbonated after 1 week. I can try and move them to warmer spot but am afraid that this stuff may work a bit too well for the non-kegging community.

I wouldn't worry yet. I typically condition at 72-75 degrees and sometimes a week is not quite long enough. At 65 degrees it takes longer. YMMV however.
Anyway, you definitely have me interesting in BioFine! I usually just use Irish Moss, which works pretty well but I occasionally still get chill haze.

A week? Not enough.
