: I didn't wash but I wipped everything with mineral spirits
: and im using MAS with a slow hardener

Pat, the key words were "mineral spirits." I did that myself many moons ago and had the same problem. Mineral spirits (or any oil like oil stain) do NOT mix. I spent some time scraping with a cabinet scraper and then sanded mine down to good epoxy and put another coats on. If you don't get it ALL of the oil off you'll have problems later.
