I have an old fireplace, the bricks which make up the fireback of the fireplace are becoming loose and the cement is falling out. Can I point this up with fire cement? If so, any tips?? THANKYOU!

"Can I point this up with fire cement?" this will be very unusual for you for safety reason.so you can start it construction with a new beginning.
Care to expand at all? any reasoning behind your post? why is it unsafe? I plan to scrape out the old cement and replace it? is there nothing I can do but replace the whole thing??
Please show your workings!!
Yes, just use fire cement. Keep the fire medium to low for the first couple of times.
Thankyou, much more like the encouraging sort of reply I was hoping for! Happy Christmas.
