Reply to comment by f37t2 in Used drywall compound instead of tile adhesive. How screwed am I ? by xdr567

By that logic, pudding is an adhesive. Paper drywall tape will adhere to anything wet.

You can stick a piece of paper to almost any surface with just water, yes. There's nothing more adhesive about drywall mud than dirt mud. That's part of why it's such a pain to work with.

Paper sticks to paper with water. Plasterboard has a paper face. Paper to paper sticks with hydrogen bonding. It is exactly how paper holds together - until it gets wet.
