Primary returns?

Gliders - Radar - In my 28 years of experience a primary radar will show gliders up very well!
OK, now I feel a prat (ignoring BtB and Grabbers). So a controller will be able to deconflict gliders from other aircraft under normal circumstances?

I must admit that I thought that plastic structures would do a good job of transparency to radar waves.
