White star would be OK..not greenstar!!!....when tiling over glazed ( glossy ) tiles you need to use a highly flexible adhesive.......white star is ok for small tiles but if using larger ones then rapidset with Ad1 additive....... |

Personally, i'd use neither. White star does the job, but takes ages to set, and is definatly no good on big tiles. I'd use mosaic fix for any tile on tile jobs if i were you. Dont be fooled by the name, its not just for mosaics by any means, its essentially Single Part Flex with a lot more polymer.
