Cleaning solvents

It's late Saturday. Just finished a final hand sanding on the deck of my perpetually-in-production North Bay --- was going to put the final coating of epoxy on the deck tonight, but, without thinking about it, I cleaned the deck with mineral spirits instead of my normal alcohol or vinegar. I'm crashing around trying to find the gouge, but does anybody know offhand if the mineral spirits is going to screw up my thin coat of epoxy --- which I've held off in applying 'cause I have this nagging feeling that I wasn't supposed to use mineral spirits? And, if it is going to be a problem, what's the best damage control solvent I can use to get rid of the problem?

Thanks!'

Jack
