'''Repulsion Gel''' is a light blue substance that repels objects. A player or an object that hits a surface coated with replusion gel will bounce off at high speeds. Jumping off such a surface launches the player higher than a normal jump. Used in combination of [[Propulsion Gel]], the player can achieve extreme distances where portal travel is impossible. Objects such as [[Storage Cube]]s and [[Turrets]] can be covered in Repulsion Gel, which causes them to bounce around erratically.

Oh, in case you got covered in that repulsion gel, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: DO NOT get covered in the repulsion gel.
Cave Johnson
Don't get covered by the gel.

Repulsion Gel is a light blue substance that repels objects. A player or an object that hits a surface coated with replusion gel will bounce off at high speeds. Jumping off such a surface launches the player higher than a normal jump. Used in combination of Propulsion Gel, the player can achieve extreme distances where portal travel is impossible. Objects such as Storage Cubes and Turrets can be covered in Repulsion Gel, which causes them to bounce around erratically.

Crouching will negate the effects of repulsion gel, and is useful for times when players find it hard to stop bouncing.

Trivia

  • Aperture's second attempt at a dietetic pudding substitute resulted in Repulsion Gel, a much sweeter, slightly less non-toxic form of fiberglass insulation that caused subsequently-ingested food items to bounce off the lining of the dieter's distended stomach and out his or her mouth.
    • For various reasons, this also was pulled from the shelves.
