Thicker Vinyl

Does anyone know where to get a more durable vinyl?
The vinyl I buy is really thin ....... it's the stuff sold with the Cricut.
It's good vinyl ......... but I need something more rugged and "stickier."

Thanks
Nicole

Several of the vinyl guru's have recommended this site for their vinyl.

You might ask customer service at h&h or signwarehouse but I think the longer life vinyls are thicker. Like Oracal 651 and 671 are thicker than 641 for instance. I think signwarehouse and maybe H&H also has the thickness in mils listed in the specs for each vinyl or you can get it from the manufacturer sites. You can get free samples from the oracal site, too so you can see for yourself how thick each one is.

I bought the more expensive vinyl that is supposed to last longer for a sign that I did and it was actually thinner and very hard to use. Definitely talk to a sales person.

You could always stick one piece on top of the other and then cut.
