1. A method of manufacturing a luminescent tile comprising:
- admixing a forming material, a luminescent pigment and a catalyst to create a luminescent mixture;
casting said mixture into a shaped mold; and
allowing said mixture to harden to create a luminescent tile comprising the shape of said mold.

Abstract
A method of manufacturing a luminescent tile for use in an aqueous environment includes admixing a luminescent pigment capable of being illuminated by an external light source, a forming material, and a catalyst to create a luminescent mixture. Casting the luminescent mixture into a mold and allowing said mixture to substantially harden thereby creating a luminescent tile. The forming material permits luminescence from the luminescent pigment upon excitation by an external light source, such as, a blacklight, while allowing the luminescent pigment to be safely used in an aqueous environment, such as a pool, spa, or the like.
