Question from Gigi

I will be removing wallpaper. I have been told that if there is ANY adhesive left, a water-based primer nor paint will not take to it very well. I am told cracking or some such mess will occur. If I remove the wallpaper and there is a a little adhesive left that I can’t see, how long after the priming will I know that there is still adhesive left? What about after painting?
