board adhesive

I have a question about installing a bath tub wall surround. How well will the adhesive hold on the old board
I had to remove a large portion of the existing greenboard due to water getting behind the wall. The studs were moving, which broke any seal along the tub, so I needed to take out a large enough section of the board to reinforce the studs. the remaining board on both sides is in great shape, and replacing it would entail more than I want to get into at this time. The problem is, when I took down the tile, the paper tore away from the board in some spots. I was going to skim coat the entire surface to bring it flush and smooth out any imperfections. My question is, how well will the tub surround adhesive hold to a surface that was skim coated with plaster or joint compound, or will the remaining board surface be ok to hold the adhesive?
OK, this one is easy.
The adhesive will stick to the surface that was skimmed with the drywall mud (AKA joint compound, plaster, etc.)
BUT......
Then the joint compound will separate from the board.
I have made this mistake.
Once.
The key here is to get a compound that is compatible with both surfaces (the naked greenboard and the wall surround.)
Sadly, I can't remember what I used last time. I DO remember that it was something with elastomers in it.
What I can tell you, is that Home Depot carried exactly what I needed when I explained what had gone wrong the last time (the separation) and that what I was sold worked like a charm.
