Once the drywall has been applied it is time to prime why is the compound from the drywall coming off?

Hello! Just a couple of guesses as to why the drywall compound is coming off the drywall while you are attempting to prime: First, is the compound totally cured; that is, is it hard and dry? Second, are you using a primer that is specifically designed for new drywall? Lastly, maybe too much paint, or even overworking the paint could saturate the compound, turning it back into a wet goop.
