Oracal 651 is an excellent vinyl for use in many craft projects, and it can be used in a Cricut machine. This vinyl is a permanent adhesive-backed vinyl, which means it is suitable for outdoor applications, as well as for indoor applications. It is also water-resistant, and so can be used on items that may come into contact with water.
Oracal 651 is compatible with Cricut machines and can be used to create beautiful designs and crafts. The material cuts easily with the Cricut machine blades and has a high clarity of color so that even intricate designs can be seen clearly. The adhesive backing on the vinyl makes it easy to apply to many surfaces, including wood, walls, fabric, paper, metal, glass and more.
When using Oracal 651 in a Cricut machine, it’s important to remember that this type of vinyl has a tendency to curl when heated. This means that the design should be cut slightly larger than the desired size to allow for this curling effect. It’s also important to remember that when applying the vinyl to a surface that requires heat such as wood or fabric, you should use an iron set at low heat or pre-heat your surfaces before application.

In conclusion, Oracal 651 can easily be used in a Cricut machine. It cuts easily with the machine blades and has excellent clarity of color so intricate designs are visible clearly. In order for successful application of the vinyl onto surfaces such as wood or fabric requiring heat application an iron should be set at low heat prior to application or pre-heat the surfaces first.
