drywall sanding screen history?

Does anyone know who originally started using the excellent shaping tool ‘drywall sanding screen’ and what year? Also Dragon skin still isn’t a common tool in every shapers box and isn’t a common drywall supplier item, why?

Also Dragon skin still isn’t a > common tool in every shapers box and isn’t a common drywall supplier item, > why? … Dragonskin can cause more damage in the un-skilled hand,more than it helps.Herb.

I was the first guy to use drywal screen back in 1981 and I was also the first one to use quick-dry dry wall patch for those …shot I shouldn’t have been admiring my board so much and constatly picking it up -I hit the corner of a door ding! Just kidding… Herb is correct dragon skin in the wrong hands is like using a belt sander to sand a car…not that bad, ok a bit of an exageration or is it?
