if you wanted to try it yourself you just need some abrasive rolls (sandpaper rolls) and go easy. Don't hit up the area that the blade closes onto, and you'll be fine.

Most of them will charge you the core and on return, refund the core charge.
Maybe some of these sponser will ping in and reply with there information and addresses. I know Smokin87TA has the services..
