edit: they didn't get confirmation from glitterex directly or anything, but it is fairly believable and they claim to have gotten confirmation 3rd hand

so what's the answer for those of us who don't want to listen to a 40 minute long podcast or comb through the transcript to figure it out
For visibility, of course. Glitter is extremely reflective and has no energy cost.
Thanks!
I guess I don't get why boat paint was the mystery then. I mean... it's kinda obvious? Maybe it wasn't... I haven't looked at a boat in a long time.
I feel like there's MORE mystery to it all... but I'll eventually listen to the clip.
a lot of people tell me im too picky about podcasts I listen to, but having never listened to this particular podcast and then now reading this transcript...some people shouldn't have podcast equipment.
Probably cause they don't want competition?
Or maybe it turns out they're dumping tons and tons of nondegradable materials into the ocean?

Trump is going to put glitter in bombs and commit warcrimes. The propaganda footage will make it look like some poor fuckers are just having a disco party.
They and the people interviewed suggest the secrecy is really just about competition (from China, specifically)
I like the comment one person left:
"This is like finding out UFOs are just paper planes."
LMAO

Because they don't use paint. They use some clear gel that protects the fiberglass from water, and mix that gel with glitter.
Boat paint doesn't fit the original exchange in ANY WAY. It's a total red herring.
Boat paint is obviously fucking glitter. Why would boat paint companies not want anyone to know they're suing glitter? It fucking looks like glitter.
Yes you would! Anyone who's ever looked at one of those gaudy ass glittery boats has gone "Damn, they really glittered up that boat."
How does this even begin to square with the bald faced obviousness of the boat paint answer?
This is such a lame answer that I refuse to believe it.
I mean...you can look at a glitter paint covered lake craft, it doesn't look special. It looks like fucking glitterpaint you'd see on a custom car.
How the fuck does this even classify as a secret?
"the public doesn't know....the people who love glitter the most are custom car and boat owners..."
where does AAAALLLLLL the glitter go? hobby paint? oh...
not buying it. it's ufos.

That's Epoxy, the color flakes tend to be vinyl. I used to put it down as a side job. You can get it with glitter, and the metallic style epoxies tend to achieve the effect with REALLY FINE glitter added to the base or clear coat.
