    Quick question.........

    Can anyone tell me what fablon is. I think it might be sticky back plastic but what is it like? I also need to know if it will be ok to use in a Cricut. Reason for asking is DH has model planes and wants some lettering for the wings. I dont mind doing it if its not gonna mess up my Cricut!!

    It is sticky backed plastic. I don't know about cutting it with your Cricut. I'm not sure I'd try it unless someone else says they've done it with no problems.

    I don't think I'd want to risk it in my Cricut either !!!.
    It's very sticky once you take the backing off. I think I'd rather buy some stickers for what you need them for.

    ask in the robo forum, i know you can robo something very similar and they could tell you the correct name and supplier.

    i am sure someone on the robo forum has cut it with a robo.

    ive cut the clear sticky backed stuff you buy from the supermarket etc, the type of stuff children use to cover books.

    also graphtec sell vinly sheets in packs A4 size (like peel offs) loads of colours available ive got all of them and it cuts well in a robo.

    also dcwv sticky backed paper/card cuts well too

    dont know if that helps
