can the terracotta kit be used to repair saltillo tile (Mexican tile commonly used in the Southwest)?

Yes. There are a variety of shades that you choose from to blend the colors to fit your tile shade. It is a lot to spend on a kit, but I was desperate. For me it was repair the tile or get it replaced. It repaired my spot and I do not even see it. Good luck

I used it on my such tile and it worked great. I had a neutral beige tile that required no mixing and I was happy with result.

Not sure. We used it on granite. I believe it's for products that do not have a glaze or finish on them. If the tiles are pourus then you shouldn't have a problem.

My fellow mosaic artists and I use them for ceramic tiles. Have not tried other materials.

I don't know what Saltillo is to be honest, but the bottle says for "all floors". I would suggest you ask the company directly. We love the stuff and use it on our hardwood, vinyl and tile floors.

Truthfully, I can only guess. It is supposed to work on porcelain tile, etc., so I would think there would be a good chance of it working. I would suggest trying it on a scrap piece of granite first.

i believe so. But if the tile has natural finish then it may affect the appearance.

I'm not surs as I have never tried it. I am sure someone at an actual pottery type place could help though. Good luck.

If you are talking about a ceramic tile type backsplash I would say you could if very careful if you drill it. I would drill slowly and use wall anchors to hold the screws.

It would depend upon the blade and thickness of the tile. I have used on just about everything. Glass, porclean, marble, and ceramic. I have found that I don't "force" the tile and let it do it's own thing works better.

I think so-this was what was recommended for us when we installed new tile...but I don't have Terrazzo floors so I couldn't swear to that..I would call the company that installed them (or one that does if you don't know who put yours in) to confirm.

I use it on brick (Old Chicago split brick) and it is gorgeous! Since brick and satillo tile are both made from clay, I would expect it to perform about the same.

I think you could -- it is plastic and has a slight texture, so a can of spray paint designed to adhere to plastic -- Krylon and Rustoleum sell them at Lowes and HD -- should work. If it chips or scratches, the texture would make repair easy

I have zero doubt that it will work. I would prep the surface of the tile with sandpaper or steel wool at the least.

No, direct flame to it would crack the terracotta. Be careful too - I've tried to "bake" on a grill with terracotta before and it didn't just crack, there was something moist in it (a chicken) and it exploded all over the place.

Label says it is suitable for brick siding; brick and clay tiling are made from the same material. As long as the tile is not overly porous, I believe it should work.

I am not an expert but I do not think the tile can be replaced with glass. It looks to be 'grouted' in.

Call the company directly. They may have extras you could buy. They are very friendly and helpful. Good luck. (our Lowes Hardware sells a carrera backsplash as a stock item in tile department--not sure if you would be able to match it to a random piece as carrera has such variations in color)
