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.

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.
