Tea bags for fiberglass

I saw this on another forum. This guy used a tea bag for a worn out headliner. I was looking closely and I'm wondering if this would work to replicate fiberglass pieces.

I've seen the 'pyramid' type tea bags used to replicate fiberglass, and used dryer sheets too.

They are also useful ti use as bags of holding small parts (door handles, gas caps etc.) when de-chroming in bleach and rinsing.

I also used them as mesh for speakers.
