RE: Who invented monocoat?
I dropped out of the hobby while in college from 64 to 68; only did fabric and dope before then. When I started again the guys showed me some shinny stuff called Monocoat. It was different than Super Monocoat in that you had to cover with silkspan first (IIRC). I do remember first using it on a C/L Shoestring stunter.
