September 1, 2018
Used my cricut explore air to cut out this measurement chart with this vinyl! It was my very first time ever using vinyl with a cricut and I am in love! This vinyl is perfect for crafting with! The only problem I had was getting it lined up on the mat correctly because it just wanted to roll back up.
I’ve heard good things about the Oracal 651 which is why I purchased it. It seems to be good quality vinyl. My only complaint is how it was packaged, or the lack there of. The sticker and tape were attached directly onto the vinyl which got messed up when I try to remove it. So some Of the vinyl were wasted because of that.

I was excited about this due to price and it being oracle but packaging was poor. It doesn’t come in that oracle box to keep its shape in tact. Instead, it comes rolled up in a snug plastic bag but it still managed to get a bend in it on one side which totally stinks because it’s throughout the roll and I’ll have to carefully watch how I cut on it to avoid the big creases in my designs. Probably won’t buy from this listing again.
I purchased this product to create a business hours sign for my store. I used this and red cricut vinyl. It cut perfectly and felt amazing. The problem came in when I tried to put it on my door. The door is glad and I work with quite a bit of vinyl. So I went about my normal steps of cleaning the glass with windex. Then I spray it with windex again and scrape it with a metal window scraper to ensure all debris was removed. Finally I clean with windex again to remove any bits that the scraper stirred up. Then I lay the vinyl down, smooth it and peel the transfer tape off. Usually, this gives us a beautiful surface to work on. Well, the red cricut vinyl worked AMAZINGLY!!! As I have previously purchased oracle 651 in glossy white, I assumed I would love this black as well. I was completely disappointed! It took my husband and I about 40 minutes until we gave up. As I said, I use vinyl ALOT and this particular vinyl did not adhere properly at all! I ended up pulling it off and I will have to start over.

I received my order quick. Thank you! But one thing I was not happy about was the product stickers on the vinyl. I lost about 5 inches off the roll due to the product sticker. I tried to peel it all off but the glue on the sticker was not coming off very easy. I would NOT suggest putting your product sticker and bar code tags on the vinyl. All my other orders come in plastic shrink wrap. Other than that, I am happy with my vinyl and very impressed with the delivery time.
It was easy to use with my cricut. It's a little thicker than cricut vinyl so the first time I tried it, it didn't cut through one letter. I dialed my cricut one past the vinyl setting and it worked perfectly. Transferring it went smoothly. I was able to label a tiny case for the ring bearer for my wedding and it looks perfect!
The vinyl itself is good however, the sticky label ruins part of it! It was hard to get off and left residue & bubbles. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just the edge but you lose a few inches due to where it sticks on the roll. I ordered three different colors and two of them were like this. The third one was wrapped in cellophane and the label was on the outside. On the inside, it was tapped together with masking tape which came off clean & easy. Pics attached for reference.
I cannot get this to weed! I have increased the force and it still will not cut through the vinyl. All other colors and types of vinyl that I have cut have weeded perfectly with 1/2 the force that I use with this. I know it is not my blades - they are basically brand new - less than 100 cuts! Unfortunately, I bought 10' of this stuff. When it does cut, it's not a clean cut and when I weed it - it tears the smaller details and destroys the design. I spent 4 hours trying to weed an arrow and some numbers - cut the design 4 times! Trashed all of them.
I ordered this to make some triangles for my little ones room. I have the Silhouette Cameo 2nd edition and used the right settings but the vinyl seemed to get stuck to the white paper. I had a hard time getting a few off. I even used transfer paper and it didn't work. I love how everything turned out I just wish it was easier to get the vinyl off the paper.
I LOVE this vinyl!! It's easy to "weed", durable, clean, and does great with tiny details. I've used this on glass, wood, canvas, ornaments, etc. with no issues. Very happy with my purchase.
