neropes thinks it is easy. you disagree?

I'd say a single braid spice (brummel then tucked) is pretty easy. Follow
the directions, do a couple practice trys on scrap line, and your splices
will look and work fine.

A core to core splice, on the other hand, can be -very- challenging,
depending on how densely woven the cover is. The hard part is getting a
dense/tightly woven cover to stretch over a core that is now 2x it's
original diameter. Not impossible though, just takes some practice, the
right tools, some sweat and lots of patience ;-)
