Both the same, aren't they?

I don't make end caps from either.

I know it's popular in the States, but I think the main advantage of casting them from resin is if you're making lots of them.

I make my end caps from acrylic, or polycarbonate. I use 6mm or 8mm thick material.

They work great!

Yes, same as OTW......and Sheerline, subway designs etc.................

Any plastic will do, so long as it exhibits decent strength. Styrene or ABS are both good materials although they have the slight disadvantage of being opaque.
