Hi,
Just wondering if anyone out there uses Oracle 631? I saw something on overstock.com and its a good deal. There are no reviews on it. Let me know! Thank you. Jennifer

I don't use a lot of vinyl, but maybe someone else will chime in soon. Here's some info I found just using Google. I think it's used a lot for indoor use and on walls, but I have used it outdoors and on some tumblers and it has held up well. I hand-wash the tumblers.

Oracle 631 is for indoor use and can be used on walls. It is to be removable and I believe has a matte finish. I haven't used it as I don't like to put anything directly on my walls, however, it is to be good quality.

If you want to use vinyl for outside and permanent, you want Oracle 651.

Here is a link that talanhart posted in another topic on Oracle 631.

I have heard that some people use 631 outside as well. It's just not rated as long as 651 (I think 651 is rated at 5-6 years, and 631 is rated at 2-3 years). But, as said above, 631 is mostly used for indoor use as it is more readily removable. I've never used it; just use the 651 so far.

Thanks sooooo much for all your input on the different types of vinyl. I understand more. Maybe I will buy a little of each. Jennifer

If you have a sign shop in your town, Call and ask them if they will sell you some of their scraps. I get scraps for free from a sign shop and maybe you will get lucky as well and they will give them to you.

I actually do have 2 sign shops by my house. I never thought to check that out. Thank you for the suggestion. Jennifer
