Default wallpaper removal question

The paint will soften the glue and the paper remnants will wrinkle. (been
there , done that). Keep washing with warm water, and a sponge, till it
doesn't feel slick. The only other possiblilty is perhaps the original
formula oil based Kilz as a primer. That may work.

My wife is removing some very old wallpaper off a plaster wall with
wallpaper remover and a roller. She plans on priming and painting the
wall. The paper is all off, but no matter what she doers there seems
to be some glue residue left behind. Does she need to scrape off 100%
of the glue (which she thinks is almost impossible), or will it be OK
if there's some residue left on the walls when she primes and paints?
