How to Use Glow Stones and Powder

Great for garden ascents and pathways
Glow stones and powder are expensive and it would cost you a small fortune to make a driveway like this but there is other more cost effective ways to use the stones and powder.


Mix glow in the dark powder in with your cement and use it in small areas or as a thin trim to your walkway or add powder to your grout when making mosaics. When adding it to cement the basic mixture is 15 percent glow powder to 85 percent cement powder. I would mix up a very small batch and test it until you get the strength you want.


Add a few pebbles to your stepping stones, mosaics or sidewalk edges. I have used the stones when camping to mark a trail. Sprinkle stones in your small herb gardens for an ascent or around specific plants to highlight them.

I have also seen the powder mixed with tile grout in kitchen floors. Always make a small sample and test it.  Some products block the UV light which makes it ineffective.

You are only limited to your imagination.
