I bought a load of victorian reclaimed bricks dead cheap to create a cottagey brick path and have been cleaning the mortar off with a wire brush and water. The water really brings out the fab colours of the bricks but they go back to dull when dry. Is there a varnish or similar that I could use on them to retain the colours?
varnishing bricks???

Just a guess...
Patterned or 'imprinted' concrete drives have some kind of glossy finish which might be adapted for your purpose. Look in Yellow Pages for a local company who might be able to advise.

I read that as 'Vanishing Bricks :-)
So did I. I thought we were going to get a tale of someone stealing them

Doesn't the sealant for block drives and patios come in various types of finish? I would imagine the satin finish would give you what you want.
