'''Gels''' are a gameplay [[Mechanics|mechanic]] officially introduced in ''[[Portal 2]]''. They are paint-like liquids that impart different effects when applied to [[surfaces]] and objects. Gel cannot be applied to transparent surfaces (such as glass), and will pass through grating (also without painting it). Most test elements also cannot be coated in gel, with the exception of [[Cubes]] and [[Turrets]].
