So, Gorilla may be a new brand to the UK but the people I've worked on-and-off with in the US for a couple of decades [including the prosthetics/costumes-people behind Jim Henson's Creature Factory] invariably mean the hot-melt stuff when they talk generically of Gorilla Glue. Before "Gorilla" became established in the UK I had a friend in California regularly bring me Gorilla-brand hot melt sticks she got free through work and if I asked her to 'bring me some more gorilla-glue on your next visit' I knew what to expect.

I guess we need to agree to disagree on this.

[To me, proper wood-glue is "Cascamite" or "Aerolite 306"]
