Can you paint over wallpaper glue.
Water-based paints can often wreak havoc with some wallpaper. The other thing they do is to seal peeling and cracked drywall like these nice spots that I had all over my walls after removing the wallpaper so that its ready to patch and paint and soon be unnoticeable. Because of the damage created by removing wallpaper if water seeps into your walls from a water-based paint you may notice tiny or large blisters forming as you roll on the paint. The most immediate risk associated with working over existing wallpaper as opposed to fully stripping it is that water in the texture compound or paint may soak through the wallpaper and loosen the glue causing the wallpaper to bubble.
