Have removed plaster from an inside wall, and well rather like the exposed brick look. If possible I'd like to avoid the 'it was never meant to be exposed'/'it looks hideous' flame war
My only questions are how to treat it? The bricks themselves are good enough, but looks like it needs repointing. However, I'm worried about damaging the brick when cutting out the old mortar.
Also, I've read conflicting reports about 'sealing' the wall after. Some say it makes the brick take on a fake glossy look, which I definitely don't want.
