Rub more blue tac over marks. Use a watered down white/magnolia to white wash the walls first.

Wood glue does not work!
It depends on the mark left. If it's a plasterboard/drywall set-up and the paper has been removed- you may have to knock a small hole and fill it up with gyspum/plaster/dry-wall putty- sand back then paint with a water-based basecoat, then the wall colour.
Sugar soap will work fine.
Diluted bleach or very strong laundry detergent (diluted) on a clean ragged dipped in a tiny bit should work too.

Whenever I prepare to paint I wash the wall with bleach water. Then I take a small puddy knife and scrape anything that is uneven, I have even done this with sticky tack. Don't scrape hard though because you don't want to gouge the wall. If you do have nicks and gouges in the wall, use Nail filler puddy. It's a small tube and it goes on easy and dries fast.

Do not use wood glue!!
Get off the blue bits with your finger then remove a grease mark with a proprietory stainblock from your local DIY store before re painting

Nail Varnish remover or TipEx!
Or
Primer or undercoat over blu tack marks..........if you are using a good quality emulsion you may not have to worry too much...just brush a little onto the mark and see what happens...

Wash with mild soap and water, sand any rough areas, fill any holes, make sure prepared surface is clean and dry and free from lose debris before you start painting.

only one answer for this, buy some medium sandpaper and rub all over your walls, this will smooth it all down including all the marks and lumps.
