You need to let your roux cool down more before adding to the stock, or else the oil and flour in the roux will separate and not mix well.

Perfect, this makes sense; thanks for the tip.

Will try it next time.

Well, when you add the vegetables to the roux, that in itself, cools down the roux. I've never had a problem with my roux not mixing well with my stock. I cook my roux, get it to the color and consistency i like, then add the veggie's and cook until they are soft, then i add the stock, stir, then add the meat, stir, and let cook for 1-2 hours.
