Nanotube fishing line would be great - but what about if and when the line snags?

Personally, I'd like to see it used to make clothing that never wears out. Not to mention that any fabric made from this stuff would be bulletproof to some degree. (Think Kevlar)

I was thinking Aviation, what they use Carbon Fiber for now.

Wonder how this stuff handles heat? Mixed with Ceramics maybe for super light engine blocks, drive trains, compressor fans...

Wonder how it handles corrosives, salt air, water?

Wonder how it would wear, would it handle continuous flexing, stretching etc

Can you imagine still having a lime green leisure suit?
