How Do You Use Oracal 651 Vinyl on Cricut?

Using Oracle 651 vinyl in your Cricut projects is a great way to add a professional looking finish to any project. Oracle 651 vinyl is a permanent adhesive vinyl that is designed for outdoor use and can withstand harsh weather conditions.

To prepare the surface for application, you should use an alcohol-based cleaner such as rubbing alcohol or acetone and wipe down the area with a clean cloth before applying the vinyl.

Once your surface is ready for application, place your Oracle 651 vinyl on top of the project with the adhesive side facing up. You can then use your Cricut machine to cut out the design of your choice from the vinyl sheet.

When you are ready to apply it, simply remove the backing paper from the adhesive side of your cutout design and carefully place it onto your project surface. Use a squeegee or credit card to press down firmly on each side of the design in order to ensure that it adheres properly.

Finally, if you would like your Oracle 651 design to last longer then you should also consider laminating it with a clear laminate film or spray sealant. This will help protect it from dirt, dust, fading and abrasion over time which will help maintain its look better for longer periods of time.
