bostik primer coming off when scrapping feet on - TilersForums.com

[Flintstone]

None of the gritty none porous surface primers form a skin of any sort. No matter how you apply it, from my experience, but as said above. Bostik isn’t a reputable brand to professionals!

Ive put eco prime grip on smooth glazed tiles and when dry, I could sratch it off with my finger nails.

Yes, you can scratch off, but not peel off. The force of tile adhesive and tile onto the primer is not gonna pull it off

I haven't tried peeling mine thou. Just scratch and twist my boot on it. Will it be OK to tile on?

I would be tempted to remove it.......then dilute 50/50 and make up a slurry mix. Powdered tile adhesive and diluted primer...........diluted enough to brush. Then leave to dry.

You could always call their tech line/cus service this morning and check with them.
Odd as it seems I suspect its as it should be.

Would evostik 918 be a better choice

No, Evo stick is another diy brand. Use one of the ones mentioned in this thread

He doesn't really want it roughing up though if he's planning on levelling over the lot before tiling does he?

Evostik and bostik are the only brands in my local tilestore.

Phoned the technical service and the primer is as it should be. It reignites once self leveller or addy goes on top.

Rather you than me with this one, i must say.

The self leveler is down now so no going back. All we can do is wait and see. Worst case, if they lift, itll be on bostik to put right after them confirming this is how its done.

Don't worry they will find something you did wrong
