New to Vinyl - How to use Oracal 651 Permanent Adhesive Vinyl

[@elizabeth-jcllp9176]

Those settings were right on point. I was going to do a test, but then said nope, I'm going to trust your settings. Finally! Somebody gave settings that actually worked out. I know it can vary because of blade sharpness, etc, but this was perfect. Thank you!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Great to hear!

[@karentalbot1596]

I just getting into cutting vinyl on my Cameo! This video was so helpful! Thank you!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You are so welcome!

[@royalarch5custom]

Good work and the outtakes were better, you have a new subscriber, thanks for the laughs

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Awesome, thank you!

[@XennialGuy]

Thanks girl! Saved me some trouble.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Absolutely! So glad I could help!

[@DarkAngel-vs3om]

Will this not peel off after few washes? I mean it’s so thin look like you can peel it off with nail so easy

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Since this image has thinner lines, it is possible that it will not last as long as a thicker image would.

[@kingdreblackpanthafammily5755]

Question Do I print on the verse side?mirror the wording?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Cut with vinyl side facing up. For the adhesive vinyl we carry, do not mirror the image. If you are cutting heat transfer vinyl from our website, most will be cut mirrored. Hope that helps!

[@kaycee5066]

I’m completely new to everything and I just got a Cricut joy that came with the vinyl. Those vinyl were lifting up after washing so someone tools me to use clear vinyl to overlay. I am overlaying the image and there’s bubbles. All I doing this wrong?

[@karinaarellano5718]

I used oracal 651 (my first time working with permanent vinyl) and it did not stick well to my mugs :/ I used alcohol, let them cure for a few days, and found they still removed fairly easily and started peeling when washed. Not sure what went wrong. But i’d love to try again

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi, there are a lot of other things that could cause this. Was there a coating of any type on the mug. That will cause issues for it to stick. Also, it works best if it is a smooth surface. Please let us know.

[@sarahford489]

The hot water isn't adhesive vinyls friend, especially in the dishwasher. You should use a finisher like polyurethane polyacrylic spray, dishwasher safe Mod Podge, or an epoxy before running your projects through the dishwasher.

[@margrethai]

good clear tut/ Thank you

[@Mojo27564]

Can you use that same vinyl for hot press machine on shirt?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

The Oracal 651 is a permanent adhesive vinyl not recommended to use as heat transfer. We do have a variety of heat transfer vinyl available here: expressionsvinyl.com/heat-transfer-vinyl/

[@Time_Limit]

Life SAVER! Thank you

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Happy to help!

[@angeladaniel209]

I have tried the 651 with my Cricut on the setting specified on your website and its not cutting through. What should I do?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You will want to make sure you blade is clean. If it is, then you will want to increase the pressure. Our settings are a good place to start but all machines will be different depending on how often they are used and what materials they have cut. Always do a test cut to make sure the settings will work.

[@andrea10047]

This is a simple and informative video. I searched all over trying to find this info Thanks

[@auntiesister]

Make sure you also select the type of material you are cutting. It’s in the same area where she should you the blade and speed.

[@giovannifigueroa6307]

I haven't done this in years 10 plus. So my question with oracle 651 heating is not needed it's just stick and peel?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Heating is not needed with the 651 adhesive vinyl. You will just take the backing off and apply it to your project.

[@rowglider231]

I am looking for a stencil vinyl that leaves no residue glue. Which one do you recommend? Avery Dennison SF100 is difficult to find and expensive. I need the vinyl for custom painting carbon fiber bicycle frames. So I only stick them onto the frame for a few hours. Thank you.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

We carry a stencil film! Check it out! expressionsvinyl.com/removable-adhesive-vinyl/oramask/

[@adriannagregory1897]

What kind of transfer tape did you use? I can’t find a good one for my oracal 651. The silhouette transfer tape that came with it isn’t good

[@Expressionsvinyls]

This is the tape that she used in the video, but any tape you buy from Expressions Vinyl should work great for 651 expressionsvinyl.com/gridlined-clear-transfer-tape-12x30-roll-blue-1-grid/

[@KC-gp1ew]

i know this video is way back 2020. im just new to this stuff and hoping to get a lil guide from you. can I also use this vinyl for my t-shirts? or cotton?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Here is all of the New to Vinyl videos. You are able to use all of the HTV that we carry on T-shirts kzbin.infosearch?query=new%20to%20vinyl

[@nezdannaja]

Hi, I using the 651 vinjl on a mug, and this rubbed after washing my hand. Why?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Allow the vinyl to set for 24 to 48 hours before exposing to moisture. Hand wash recommended.

[@lyndabaillargeon4955]

Love it ❤

[@STAYFITLA]

Can you wash these and the vinyl doesn’t come off right?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hand wash only. Let set for 24 to 48 hours before washing. :)

[@evondalebaptist3987]

Did u used the auto blade to cut your svg or deep cut blade?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

She is using the auto blade for this project.

[@AngelReyes-ns3of]

Hi, I’m new to this… do you need transfer tape in order to stick permanent vinyl to a mug? I heard you could directly stick the permanent vinyl to the mug without transfer tape… hope you can answer my question… thanks!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Transfer tape is not required to use adhesive vinyl. However, some designs are easier to apply with transfer tape. Transfer tape helps keep everything in place, especially the small intricate and/or multi-piece designs.

[@Bespoke234]

Can I use ordinary vynil transfer tape thank u

[@resinapparelco433]

I don’t know why this doesn’t work for me. Once I have the design onto the transfer tape it won’t apply to whatever surface I’m putting it on. It stays on the transfer tape.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

The brand of vinyl may require a different tack transfer tape. For example, Our adhesive vinyl works best with medium tack transfer tape. If you use a high tack transfer tape with our vinyl, it would be a bear to apply it to the project, if it would work at all. Check to see what transfer tape is recommended for the vinyl you are using. It will make a world of difference!

[@cheyr49]

I read that the vinyl normally has to sit for 24-48 hrs before attempting hand washing...does that sound about right? I’m using the permanent vinyl on wine glasses and was going to test that theory, but would love to hear your opinion!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Yes, that is what we recommend as well.

[@tonyab4674]

Does this work on cardboard too? and does it matter if the letters aren't touching each other? im trying to put my company logo on a box using this type of vinyl....would this kind be my best bet?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Yes, you would be able to use it on cardboard. We do suggest that you do a test project to see if it will work the way you are wanting it to.

[@darlalindsey3263]

Do you need to mirror the image on this vinyl?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You do not need to mirror your image when cutting Oracal 651 vinyl.

[@darlalindsey3263]

[@tasha-leighwilliams9716]

It was the bloopers for me lol

[@mariavazquez-qs2gg]

When using the 651 vinyl on a mug how long should we wait before getting wet?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

24 to 48 hours.

[@abbeyjohnson7484]

How did it do in the dishwasher? My other vinyl didn’t stay when I washed it

[@Expressionsvinyls]

It is not recommended to put vinyl in the dishwasher. You will want to hand wash your items with vinyl on them.

[@Kyle5K]

Thanks for the video. What if I wanted to sell decals, how would I ship it? Do I still use transfer tape?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

There may be some concerns with shipping the decal with the transfer tape already applied. Leaving the transfer tape on too long may cause some of the adhesive to remain on the decal. Conditions during shipping can also be a factor. Heat, cold, moisture... if severe enough, may cause issues with the transfer tape removal. The type of transfer tape used will affect the results. However, we have not tested thoroughly enough to have a final answer. These are some things to keep in mind.

[@Kyle5K]

@@Expressionsvinyls Thank you very much! That'd be a nice video to make!

[@clionn]

Is Oracal 651 also used for ballons or would that be Oracal 631? thanks

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Yes it is Oracal 651 you would be able to use it for these projects.

[@clionn]

@@Expressionsvinyls Can Oracal 631 be used though? Or it peels off?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

What transfer tape do you use? Having problems finding one that pulls off the vinyl

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Here's a link for the transfer tape she used in this video expressionsvinyl.com/gridlined-clear-transfer-tape-12x30-roll-blue-1-grid/

[@_est.1992_]

Is the setting to cut the same for htv??

[@Expressionsvinyls]

It depends on what kind you are using. Here is a chart that has cut settings for any vinyl you buy from us. Always do a test cut, but these settings are a good place to start expressionsvinyl.com/machine-settings/

[@victordanieltrujillo4832]

Is it supposed to leave a little thick layer or how do you make it a smooth touch?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You will feel it slightly as you are adding something to the smooth side of the cup.

[@gprewett9036]

The outtakes made my day, lol! Great video, and good laughs too!

[@tawanascruggs6069]

Does this particular vinyl require a sealant?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

We do not recommend using a sealant. It affects the adhesive.

[@miarimmi3758]

Is it dishwashersafe?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hand Washing Recommended.

[@productstylistmarie6391]

Great instructional video, my sticker came out great thanks to you 🙌🏽

[@francoisdevilliers4822]

Why do you use it with the mat. Works well without it.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You can cut with or without a mat! We love it!

[@damanijones1900]

Thank You So Much!!! Very Nice!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You're welcome!

[@alexschultz6349]

How long does that last with washing? dishwasher safe?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

The manufacturer recommends hand washing only. If applied correctly and with proper washing, it should last quite awhile. We do not have exact times, however. I personally have mugs that are going on over 2 years with vinyl applied.

[@ryanosborne7162]

Not sure why my heat transfer tape is not sticking to the 651 vinyl

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You will want to use transfer tape for adhesive vinyl. A carrier sheet from a HTV piece will not work the same way. Here is a link for the transfer tape that we carry expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/

[@mariaburciaga7310]

Are supposed to seal it with something ? Or not?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Sealants can have an adverse affect on the adhesive. If desired, epoxy is a good option.

[@jeffririvera1685]

Hey there. Thanks for this video. Does Oracal 651 last long even i wash the mug almost everyday with dishwashing liquid? I only do handwash since we don't have automatic dishwasher. Thanks. :)

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hand washing with soap and water is great!

[@russudvp]

Do you do sublimation on mouse pads

[@Expressionsvinyls]

We do not carry sublimation items. We do carry HTV that you can cut and apply to your project.

[@beachlifesoy2253]

Is Oracal 651 more durable than other Adhesive vinyl for mugs going through the dishwasher? Also, does it have a thicker feel when using on t-shirts? tia :)

[@Expressionsvinyls]

There are many brands and types of vinyl. 651 is permanent, water resistant, recommended hand wash only. 631 is removeable and not recommended for prolonged exposure to water.

[@lalacruz9587]

[@collenekennedy]

Thanks for your video...Just discovered Oracal 651... so affordable...What settings did you use? I'm using a cricut joy and can't figure out which setting to use! Thanks in advance!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

We are still running through some tests for the Cricut Joy settings. Try a test cut with Smart Vinyl -Permanent and see how that works for you.

[@coffeelover9910]

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know I could use my vinyl 651 on mugs, I use them on T Shirts. Question: Is that mug microwave safe? or will the vinyl shrink?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

It is not recommended to be used in the microwave.

[@ale347baker]

651 is not meant to be used on shirts because it will melt with your heat press or iron.

[@spencerphilip9546]

"Then we gonna take our sceee-sors" Thats cute..!

[@bagchaser3859]

Just how sticky is that adhesive oracal vinyl?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

It has a permanent adhesive, so it sticks really well to non-porous surfaces.

[@justshai1458]

Thank u

[@kathysandler6195]

I am new and loving my silhouette cameo 4. Love y’all’s videos too. One question, what is the blue mat that you use your box cutter on? I know I can’t cut with a box cutter on my sticky-cutting mat. Thanks and keep the training video’s coming.

It is LyFstyle Company cutting mat.

[@crystalhernandez1278]

When i cut thin stuff like that it messes up and slides every were when trying to weed any tips on what’s going on

You'll want to make sure that your rollers are moved in if you are not using a mat and that your roller bar is locked in.

Check blade, and test cut a different setting. Repeat as needed before sending design through.

[@moviemode3781]

My blade comes back and cut through the already cut vinyl 🤷. So there'll be a nice part neatly cut then it drags the blade right back over the nicely outlined work 🤷🤦

I'm sorry that happened! Check that blade is securely inserted, clean the blade, and check for updates for the machine. I hope that helps!
