Obvious? Yeah, I didn't think of it either. I intentionally linked directly to the DS product first. I strongly prefer DS for pours. It's quite strong and very useful for doing the delicate parts like the fences. Instead of using resin, I wetwater the mold, brush it in, put a sufficient dab to fill the fence then scrape or squeegee. DS can appear a bit thick but it flows very very beautifully and captures fine detail most impressively.

Use DS for bricks that you need to be strong and PoP for bricks you need to tailor

A word of caution however, definitely stay close to the ratio. At 100g DS and 20g water (about enough for a single medium mold), a few drops of water, literally, will make a very marked difference in the mix. If you add 1g more, your mix will be much more fluid, 2 or 3g more and you're going to start getting "volcano cream" surface; your bricks will dry with a smeary sludge on top that is bubbly. Stay with the ratio and your brick surface will dry smooth and hard.

You can drill and cut the DS by the way, but I recommend using tools with a stone cutting edge. I use a drill press with diamond coated drill bits and I drill slowly. You may need to lubricate with water and make sure to keep the dust cleared.
