There are some people on the forum who can do a good job... I trust... but for everyone else I believe this is a very true statement. I would substitute SCARY for the word 'hilarious'...... Real potential for harm...
Of course, this assumes that you can FIND a trustworthy shop to do it... another time the word SCARY comes to mind ... trusting your baby to someone else....
