How to Make CFoam Sprayer in Minecraft
CFoam Sprayer
CFoam Sprayer is a portable IC2 tool that sprays liquid Construction Foam over blocks and HV cables, hardening into a blast-resistant wall.
Description
Fresh Construction Foam hardens with light: roughly 0.6% every 25 seconds for every light level, never in darkness, and instantly when clicked with sand. Hardened Construction Foam Wall has a blast resistance of 60, which makes the CFoam Sprayer the standard way to insulate HV cables carrying up to 2048 EU/t and to creeper-proof machines and reactors. After hardening, the wall can be recolored with a colored Painter and mined with a pickaxe.
Guide
How to use a CFoam Sprayer in Minecraft IC2
-
1
Craft the CFoam Sprayer
At a crafting table, combine iron and a Universal Fluid Cell to produce a CFoam Sprayer.
-
2
Prepare liquid foam
Craft CF Powder, mix it with water to make liquid Construction Foam, and process the mix in a Canning Machine.
-
3
Fill the tank
Refill the 8000 mB tank of the CFoam Sprayer with liquid Construction Foam in a Canning Machine; each sprayed block uses 100 mB.
-
4
Spray blocks and cables
Hold the CFoam Sprayer and right-click a block or an HV cable to cover it with a soft Construction Foam layer.
-
5
Harden the foam
Keep the area lit: foam hardens by about 0.6% every 25 seconds per light level, never in darkness, and instantly when clicked with sand.
Mine hardened Construction Foam Wall with a pickaxe and recolor it with a colored Painter; never touch a bare HV cable carrying 2048 EU/t.

Frequently asked questions
How do I refill the CFoam Sprayer?
Mix CF Powder with water to get liquid Construction Foam, then fill the 8000 mB tank in a Canning Machine; each block sprayed costs 100 mB.
How long does Construction Foam take to harden?
Hardening depends on light: about 0.6% every 25 seconds per light level. In darkness foam never hardens, while a click with sand hardens it instantly.
What does sprayed foam turn into?
It hardens into Construction Foam Wall with a blast resistance of 60 — enough for creeper-proof walls, though weaker than Reinforced Stone.
Why insulate HV cables with foam?
HV cables carry up to 2048 EU/t and electrocute any player or mob that touches them; a hardened foam coat makes the cable safe.
Can I paint hardened foam?
Yes — after hardening, apply a colored Painter to the Construction Foam Wall; the color cannot be applied while the foam is still soft.
