I just went to a local shop today to buy a large blank presensitized PCB so I can cut it into smaller pieces and invent a bunch of circuits.
As soon as I got home and opened the package, I was dismayed that the board had no protective layer on it which I could peel off and there were no instructions. The last time I bought the same package, those things were present. The only difference between the two packages were the number stamped at the bottom of the package. What's worse is the store doesn't offer refunds.
So now that I lost $30, I cannot trust MGchemicals anymore since they changed their board style to type "E" according to kinsten.co.
I'm considering ordering from kinsten.co since they have even larger boards than what MGchemicals has as well as the type "WA" board which means board with protective coating which I need.
But before I take such an expensive route of ordering from china and paying high dollar for delivery, does anyone know where I can get a presensitized PCB with a protective coating put on it in Ontario Canada? I'm preferably interested in one NOT made by MGchemicals because I think they are being deceiving now with their creations. I even checked their website, and they don't mention if their boards are type "WA" or type "E".
For reference, the image below is an example of what I need. The white is the protective material.

However, the packaging I got was this instead, except the front of the package was grey, not yellow with writing:
