Actually, I ended up using the gutter mesh you're talking about...So far, after 200 mi, no problems. Also, I placed the mesh inside the PVC pipe w/ after placing the fiberglass mat in the pipes (it appears to be a bit thicker than the stuff DJ has in his pics). That way it was possible to just slide the PVC through the fiberglass and push the mesh out while pulling pack the PVC...
