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?


The general answer is Sure.
Anything you can get the resin to encapsulate.

But the "pouring in resin" part makes me wonder what the heck you are
thinking???
