I really prefer using 751 on anything I’m going to put in a dishwasher because in my experience it actually survives the wash. When you apply it to a complex surface like a vehicle, this is where 751 really shines and cements its place as a luxury vinyl. Even though 751 and 651 use the same adhesive, 751 tends to stick better for longer because of its flexibility and stability, even on flat surfaces. Let’s talk about this for a bit, because it’ll affect the projects you’re able to use it for. is made using higher quality plastics and pigments, making the colors last a lot longer in the sun and making 751 a lot more durableĭurability.works much better on cars and complex surfaces (or with a lot of irregularities like screws, bolts, or other roughness in the material).Casting vinyl is a more expensive process, but it also allows you to produce less at a time which means it’s more economical to have small runs of limited colors. Without putting on my engineer hat for too long, the main difference between these two vinyls is that 751 is cast, not calendered like 651. I’ve picked out some key considerations that really highlight where Oracal 751 shines and which projects you’ll want to use it for. Like 651, it’s a glossy permanent adhesive vinyl, but because it’s cast (this basically means it’s poured flat) it’s thinner, more durable, and can be used in a lot of interesting ways 651 can’t. Oracal 751 has recently become my favorite vinyl to work with. For a review of every other vinyl for Silhouette and Cricut machines, I have this review.
