ORACAL Oramask 813 Stencil Vinyl (12" x 6ft)

I bought the is with the intent of using it as a stencil but needed transfer tape and this works so much better than any transfer tape I’ve ever used before. Definitely will be buying again.

This stuff is so neat. It’s a blue transparent thick floppy plastic that my cameo just cut the greatest stencils ever to make up wood signs. It adheres to the wood and it worked great with my spray paint. However if you’re in a hurry and stick it on not dry paint it will lift up the undercoat. It’s sticky yet not too sticky! I bought a spray adhesive to add when I needed it to adhere closer. My oracle 651 I was using as a stencil was too adhesive and this was amazing compared to that!

So let me start by saying I love this vinyl.. for the most part. My only complaint is it’s a little inconsistent. I have bought multiple rolls. The stickiness varies. For the most part it was perfect. I used this to do stencils when painting a hockey helmet and the first roll they all stuck down perfectly and was easily removed. Then used the second roll. It stuck down nice, but when I tried to remove it the problems started. It stuck a little too well. Was difficult to remove and paint was sticking to it. I had to literally stick it to my shirt a few times and dull down the adhesive and then it worked perfectly. It was the only roll I had that issue with. Other than that, the only issues I ran into was the cutting process. I used this to do small letter stencils on a metal license plate. I cut it with my cricut. Some of the smaller details did not cut well or fell out, also there was a lot of lifting during the cutting process. The vinyl would bubble up around the cut lines. After having to recut a couple times, I made sure to stay vigilante and would just gently press down any air bubbles so it cut correctly and smooth. While it does take a little finessing overall this is a great product just takes a little patience.

I used this vinyl with my Cricut Maker to stencil a couple pieces of furniture. The vinyl cut seamlessly and was easily transfered with transfer tape. I used two light coats of paint over stain and had no issues with bleeding. I will definitely purchase more in the future.Updated to add that I much prefer this over the cricut brand stencil vinyl. This vinyl has much better adhesion.

Awful product. If you get what you pay for, this should be free. Or even better, I should be compensated for the waste of time and frustration this caused.The roll itself looked great. No bubbles, in great shape. Once it's rolled out and used, however, it is a nightmare to work with.Any movement other than keeping the vinyl perfectly flat will result in bubbles. I had a standard grip Cricut mat that works just fine with my Cricut vinyls, even their stencil vinyl. The backing on the Oracal stencil vinyl is very dry and paper-like, vs. the waxy backing on the Cricut stencil. The result? A giant mess on my cutting mat that just about ruined it. I might as well have stuck notebook paper on it.Weeding was awful too. The vinyl is very brittle so it cracks and stretches under very little pressure. It barely has adhesive on it. I missed a little section while weeding and tried to stick it back onto the backing, with a tweezer, and it would not adhere to the backing.You'll see in the pictures how awful the finished product was.I will gladly pay more for a product that doesn't belong in the trash. So disappointed.

I use oramask on a regular basis for carving with my CNC. It’s easy to cut and sticks well onto wood surfaces. My router can cut through it and doesn’t pull it up during the process. Really good at protecting surfaces from overspray or over staining.

This product bubbles way too much while cutting or unrolling. I would not recommend it.

I’m so glad I picked this to try! I finally got the result I wanted and so happy about it.
