Please Note: Page dyes work best on new, or pristine page gilded page edges (gold/silver gilding), or plain page edges. If the page edges are worn, have scratches, etc, the application of page dye will not result with a satisfactory result. The dyes will bleed through in ways that do not look good. I DO NOT recommend adding page dyes in anything other than new, or nearly new Bibles with pristine gilding and page edges.
