In hobbyist/crafter/maker circles if you say "Gorilla Glue" people will generally assume you mean this hot-melt stuff: http://www.gorillatough.com/gorilla-hot-glue-sticks

You can't assume everyone understands what you're referring to when you use a brandname without further qualification.
Paul is correct on this point. The original Gorilla Glue was certainly not hot melt. The history of the product is all over the web including ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Glue

Sorry can't offer experience of Gorilla products but I suspect as is usually the case, generic "trade" glues do the same job but much cheaper.
