I had the same problem with this s**t, beforehand I lightly grinded the tiles, washed and dried them, then applied primer, it took a long time to set and when it did it was a bit soft as you described ( came off when scratched hard) I took the chance and poured a Bostik deep leveling compound last job before Christmas.... first day back in January this is what greeted me, the primer came clean off the floor, I got in contact with bostik technical they came out looked at it and couldn’t give me a definite explanation as to what happened and told me to use bostik universal primer instead which after lifting the leveling compound I used and it worked ok.
They sent a new batch of special hardsurface primer to the tile shop, said it was ok to use so one of the lads that works for me had a nixer for his ant last week, tile on tile she got hardsurface primer from the same shop, he said had to lift a couple of tiles on Saturday and guess what... adhesive and primer came clean off the floor.
Avoid at all costs.

O rubbish. Tiles already laid ontop of leveler. Hope all is good with them and no lifting.
