Painting: After stripping old wallpaper tried to prime and paint but seemed to get bubbles under a thin layer of paper.

may be backing from old wallpaper or the paper from the drywall. It had never been primed before the wallpaper was first installed now what do I need to do?

    Did the bubbles go away or deminish some what after the paint dried? If so then the paper face ...»
    on the sheetrock got lifted when the paper was removed. It's common to occur when dry-stripping the top layer to make wetting down then removing the backing easier. There's a water-based product made by Zinsser called Gaurdz that was made just for that problem. You cut out the blisters with a razor knife then apply the product. Once dry you patch the areas, retexture the spots if needed then repaint. Zinsser's website will have all the info you need.
