How To Create Your Own Glowing Concrete Patterns with Glow Stones
Glowing patterns in concrete surfaces can be achieved a variety of ways. The glow stones can be seeded on to the surface of the fresh concrete OR a stencil can be used to create a sharp glow stones outline. Stencils can be made out of any rigid material including plexiglass and thin plywood.

First, the concrete is poured and troweled out.

Next, the AGT™ Glow Stones are seeded all over the wet surface of the concrete and carefully troweled in so that they are just covered with a thin layer of cement. At this point, a concrete retarder is sprayed over the surface and then pressure washed off.

Here is the final glowing project...
Jill MacKay's glowing "Wave Walk" design was executed perfectly - creating further depth and dimension in this gray-by-day concrete surface.
