You can install tile glue right onto drywall. However if you are doing this in a bathroom, first consider all the advantages of using concrete/ fibre boards around the tub and shower. They are far more water resistant, made for tiling, easy to work with and come in handy sizes 30x60 and 36x60. - I have used this in preference to drywall for over 10 years and never had an unhappy client.

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.
