Re: prime or not to prime
You don't need to prime if using white star on plasterboard, though it won't hurt if you do.

Re: prime or not to prime
Tubbed adhesive is usually acrylic based so with plasterboard there is no potential chemical reaction to worry about - ettringite crystallisation - between cement and gypsum, like you would get with powdered stuff.
