I was expecting a challenging map (since it is tagged as 'Advanced') but I was able to beat it without using any part of the little room beside the exit door.
After spreading gel, placing the 1st cube on the button by the entrance, getting the 2nd cube down and using the funnel to reach the exit door, all I had to do was:
[spoiler]1. Leave a portal by the exit door.
2. Bring the 2nd cube into the room with the entrance door (this can be done first if you want).
3. Stack the cubes on the little block in the corner.
4. Jump on the cubes to get up to the little platform.
5. Pull the cubes up.
6. Place a portal anywhere to take the cubes to the exit.[/spoiler]

Quote from taco on April 7, 2013, 8:49 pmEven without the little cube there, it will still technically be possible to stack the cubes to get out (need to place the bottom cube on it's edge). It is so fussy though that you probably don't need to worry about fixing it.
That said, you can also: [spoiler]place the cube on the fist button's edge so that you can grab it without walking through the fizzler. The solution would go something like this:
After spreading gel, placing the 1st cube on the 1st button's edge (fizzler side), getting the 2nd cube down and using the funnel to reach the exit door, all I had to do was:
1. Leave a portal by the exit door.
2. Pull the first cube through the fizzler, forcing it to respawn.
3. Place a portal anywhere to take both cubes to the exit.[/spoiler]

I dont think anyone is going to solve it the intended way
EDIT, think its finally updated, but at this rate I might just delete it, this is why I don't do gel maps

After getting the 2nd cube down, spreading gel and using the funnel to get to the exit:
[spoiler]1. Place a portal by the exit - be sure to NOT replace the portal that is above the entrance door.
2. Just through the portal and land on top frame of the broken window.
3. Re-spawn the first cube.
4. Place a new portal and take both cubes to the exit.[/spoiler]
