Vinyl For The Cricut

Craft vinyl for your personal cutter comes in many different colors, finishes, and sizes. The most popular type of vinyl for the Cricut? user is the Oracal 631. This type has a water-based adhesive backing that allows more flexibility when placing on indoor wall surfaces. This type can also usually be removed from the wall within a two year period of time without affecting the paint or leaving a residue from the adhesive. Matte is available in 63 colors, by the sheet, yard, and 10-yard roll.

Occasionally, the 631 matte may not adhere properly to certain wall types. This may be due to the texture, high-gloss or eggshell paint, or other wall conditions. If this type fails to adhere, a great alternative is the Oracal 651 with a glossy finish. The 651 has a more permanent solvent-based adhesive backing instead of the water-based adhesive of the matte. You will find that the 651 is also thinner and more flexible allowing it to withstand warmer and colder outdoor temperature variations. 651 gloss is available in many colors, by the sheet, by the yard and by the 10-yard roll.

If your project needs to be weather tested against extreme outdoor temperatures and conditions, then the Oracal 751 glossy outdoor vinyl is a great fit. The 751 is even thinner and more flexible than the 651. It is great for outdoor sign lettering, especially on glass, plexiglass, metal, automobile finishes and other substrates that will be affected by extreme outdoor temperatures. As you would probably think, the longer the vinyl is guaranteed to last against outdoor elements the more expensive it will be. Knowing the different indoor and outdoor conditions your vinyl project may be exposed will help you to choose the correct type; and using it as directed by the manufacturer will give you the most value for your dollar.

Finally, for all the creative Cricut? artists, there are many specialty vinyl types available. Some types include t-shirt, etched glass, high gloss metallic, and chalkboard vinyl. There are limitless options with so many various colors, patterns, and finishes to choose from. As was mentioned earlier, make sure to follow the prescribed directions for the vinyl type to achieve the best results.

Cricut? artists now have such a wide array of options when it comes to selecting vinyl for their Cricut? projects. With all the variety of colors, sizes and types of vinyl for personal craft cutters, it is a great time to spruce up those plain walls with a customized wall quote, or add a customized name, or decal to a family picture. Creating vinyl Cricut projects is a lot of fun and is much more affordable than you may think.
