These tiles are not in the bath tub area. I am not retiling the
walls, just putting on primer and then paint. I just worried that
the yellow adhesive might show through the paint or could compromise
the paint durability. Do I need to scrape all of glue off, it I put
a think coat of dry wall compound? thanks.

It isn't in the "book" and it isn't the taught way of doing things so I
can't tell you to do it, but I bet if you disregard the proper advice and
skim coat the area with regular or a setting type sandable joint compound it
will work just fine. Durobond is not sandable!

10-11 years ago I did a similar project where I removed some paneling that
had been installed with construction adhesive. I have never had a problem.

Take you time and feather it out nicely. I doubt very much that well aged
glue will bleed through. Prime it with Kiltz or Bins if it does.

If you have never skim coated ask for directions. There are a couple of
tricks to make it easier.
