'''Adhesion Gel''' was a [[gel]] type that was cut from ''[[Portal 2]]''. It did not function and was replaced by [[Reflection Gel]] in the [[Peer Review]] DLC. | '''Adhesion Gel''' was a [[gel]] type that was cut from ''[[Portal 2]]''.

Adhesion Gel can be "painted" onto surfaces like any other gel. Originally, the gel was supposed to allow the player to walk on the walls and ceiling of test chambers. However, this effect has been removed in the final game. Objects can be coated in Adhesion Gel, but there are no Adhesion Gel-coated textures for anything, so it will not render. The only remaining effect of Adhesion Gel is that objects coated in it will not slide along [[Propulsion Gel]], and vice-versa. The gel was made purple as a placeholder; a final color was never decided on, so it remains purple in the final game. | Adhesion Gel can be "painted" onto surfaces like any other gel.

According to the ''Portal 2'' developer commentary and [[The Final Hours of Portal 2]], play testers were falsely disoriented when they had to think with portals while walking on walls and ceilings. Valve had ultimately scrapped the gel as a result. | According to the ''Portal 2'' developer commentary and [[The Final Hours of Portal 2]], play testers were falsely disoriented when they had to think with portals while walking on walls and ceilings, and the gel did not work correctly with portals.

Adhesion Gel was later replaced by [[Reflection Gel]] in the [[Peer Review]] DLC, which uses the same color as [[Conversion Gel]]. The updated gel is still not used in the game, but it is functional to redirect lasers if placed using the [[Portal 2 Authoring Tools]]. | Adhesion Gel was later replaced by [[Reflection Gel]] in the [[Peer Review]] DLC, which uses the same color as [[Conversion Gel]].
