It is a bit harder to splice. However, as long as you make a taper, you should do fine. Without a taper, you'll wear the skin off your fingers trying to milk it.

what he said. W/o the taper your fingers will end up looking like hamburger meat.

I use a steel fishing leader, doubled over and then pinch the fold with pliers. I haven't found anything easier to splice it with, and it is still not an easy task. Or at least not as easy as a steel.
