I believe Monokote was the original covering way back in time. I seem
to recall someone telling me that the adhesive was pressure-sensitive,
i.e. it was more like FasCal and not an iron-on.

Super Monokote was the improved product that came out some time after-
wards. 

Perhaps the name reverted to Monokote after Great Planes bought out 
Top Flite. (Speculation here - I've never bought full rolls of the stuff
so I don't know for sure).
