Prime joint compound before latex paint?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I'm painting a room that had previously been wallpapered. The walls are veneer plaster coated, so the paper was easy to remove and clean the plaster.
However there are patches for wiring, dings and other artifacts of sloppy plastering that I've covered with regular joint compound.
As I start painting (latex) I find that unless I'm really quick and wet across the compound, it starts to come up and ruin the finish.
Should I be spray priming? What do others do about this issue?

Good question. I always cover those spots with a brush first, as the rolling is when it comes up for me. The downside is that it can alter the texture of the finished wall.

Huh? Of course you will. Always.
Anytime you put topcoat paint on a surface that is inconsistent, it will show inconsistent results. The topcoat will react differently to different surfaces, leaving a different texture that will be noticeable.
That is the entire point of primer. You paint primer over the mixed surface, the primer seals it, and after 1-2 coats (possibly with some help from sanding or filler in between primer coats) you have a surface that is uniform (consistent/the same) - it's all dried primer. The topcoat applies evenly.
Primer also causes the color to be uniform, because otherwise, underlying different colors will print through (most architectural coatings are near-white, and white paint isn't that opaque).
Primer is optimized to do this. It's also cheaper. Paint can do this too, but it'll take ridiculous numbers of coats of it.

@DaveM because you're sanding too soon. Wait for it to dry. Yes, applying primer can make a few surfaces bumpy, but, most likely paint would do the same thing. Primer "springs the trap" as it were, then freezes it so it won't do it anymore. At least that's the idea. Also, you often sand just because the surface was already rough and that becomes more visible once primer gives it a uniform appearance.
