When do you use reflective glass beads instead of reflective glass powder?

Larger beads equal a wider angle of retro reflection. Smaller beads the opposite. Smaller beads especially high index are the best for signs and curb marking. Larger beads better for pavement and streets. In Crafts and art projects size affects texture…

could you mix this into a clear resin (not just surface applied) so that it might act as a light diffuser?

I don’t think so. Read that you should not mix into something you’ll lose the reflective property.

One pound bag for $15.65, and 2 one pound bags (two pounds) for $83.20?

Looks like someone is selling the same-ish product…for a lot more

how do you apply to vertical surface?

I’m thinking you could apply beads to packing tape or something similar and then apply to vertical surface. Possibly after paint racks up a bit. Leave till paint is completely dry and possibly cured. You will have a learning curve but you could even practice with cheap beads first that or other similar medium.
