Custard is my kill zone!

But I would like to have a go at splicing. They look quite cool that way

That's only temporary because I got the ball rolling.

Meanwhile, glue blobs have been placed on leading edges and are drying.

Never seen spliced feathers. I can imagine what you mean but how do you do it?
