we have a old brickfire place whicj is no longer used but we are very
reluctant to remove it the problem is the bricks are very soft and powdery
you only have to brush them to get a nice collection of red dust
has any one got any ideas on what could be used to seal them but still keep
a nice look to them
i have thought about a watered down solution of pva and more ideas ?

IME Thomsons Waterseal changes the colour a lot less than pva.

floor-tile sealant would give a nice dull sheen, and bind the surface.

If they are that crubmley, if you stick the outer 5 mm together with
some form of glue, won't the next bit in just give way, so large lips
fall off ?
