I did something unusual for me. . . . Actually read the paint can
before priming my newly installed drywall. It says I should wait 30
days for the wall to cure. I've never done that and never had a
problem. I've always just waited for the shade of moisture to
disappear from the mud and then painted. Never have had a problem
with wear or cohesion. What am I missing?

I have never had a problem where regular, pre-mixed mud was used.

I have experienced some minor problems when the setting type mud was used.
I suspect that a wait time for that is advisable.

For sure I know you need to let new plaster cure. Maybe not the full 30 but
at least 14 days of dry air.
