Default reinforcing fiberglass with different kinds of mesh

Hi!
Can you use stainless steel wire mesh or nylon mesh to reinforce
fiberglass?
Has anyone ever tried doing so?

I was thinking perhaps after pouring the resin, I lay the glass fibers
then the wire/nylon mesh, then repeat....

What do you think?

I remember a fellow telling me you could cast nylon fishing line in a
polyester model, and no matter how jumbled, you could pull it out
to leave a long slim hole.
