[QUOTE="Zeespark, post: 23545, member: 400"] Hia guys my thrupny pence worth here. I actually cap using 20/25mm round plastic conduit when I can. I know its more work for me in theory, but I use a chasing machine. The space in the conduit allows myself or others after me to add sockets, switches etc without having to ruin the decoration of the room if I were to simply bed the cables in with plaster. If I have to 'clip' say a 10mm 6491X I simply use 12/13mm metal capping. To fix it, I run a line down each side of the capping with a pen/pencil and then drill and plug a series of number 6 roundhead screws. Finniky and pedantic yes, but I believe in what I do.
