Wallpaper and paint (new to us home)

Hey all! I've read quite a bit of conflicting information so I am hoping to read some helpful responses. Just purchased a home, with one room entire wall had wallpaper, and one room half the walls have wallpaper. First room wallpaper came off easy, and we washed from what we can tell all the residue off with water/vinegar solution. Second room the wallpaper seems to be stuck on by cement and won't budge. Is it REQUIRED to use an oil based primer over the wallper/glue that seemed to come off easy for priming it? What is the BEST way to just paint over the room where the wallpaper is just saying no...? THANK YOU submitted by /u/Easey03 [link] [comments]
