How do I cover my IndustrialCraft cables with Construction Foam?

By Jessica Wood

I've been playing a bit of Tekkit recently, and while looking up stuff on the IC wiki, I came across this paragraph here:

As of 1.70, CF [Construction Foam] can cover & harden around a placed cable, creating a block that functions as a cable but looks like a CF wall.

Would I like to cover up my ugly cabling with CF? Yes, please. This would also be great for patching up the weak spot in my nuclear reactor containment thing (output cable).

How do I actually do that, though? Placing CF on a cable doesn't work — it just places the CF like a normal block when I click on the cable (i.e., next to it, not covering it).

You need to use a CF sprayer, just point and fire towards the cable and it will be boxed inside a CF block.

Try placing the wiring of on the ground first, then with the CF sprayer, aim the crosshair on your HUD to the ground BELOW the wiring. This is best done through creative, as it will revert hardened CF to it's suffocating, foamy state. I did this before, and is more cost efficient, by comparison.
