'''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]]. Cubes and turrets cannot be coated in Conversion Gel.

A surface or object can take on the properties of only the gel that coated it last. For example, a Repulsion Gel-covered cube that hits a drop of Propulsion Gel will become slippery but stop bouncing.

This gel is a light blue substance that provides repelling abilities. Any objects like the [[Storage Cube]]s and [[Turrets]] that hits a surface coated with the Repulsion Gel, will either bounce away from the gel patch or bounce erratically on its own upon being coated with it. Due to the effect, the height from which a test subject falls before landing on a gel-covered surface affects the height of a jump. Test subjects can also use the Gel to move back and forth between two parallel surfaces rather than merely be propelled up and down.

The Propulsion Gel is a light orange substance that greatly increases object velocity and reduces the friction of objects moving on the surface(s) it is applied to. Any objects covered in this gel have their friction reduced, causing them to slide around across the floor easily. In other words it just makes anything that touches it, and runs on it, fast.
