I think you're right. The "regular" Gorilla glue is a polyurethane adhesive used in woodworking (I have some I bought for that purpose). It's strange stuff because you have to get it in contact with water to use it, and then it expands (which makes it suitable for woodworking if you can clamp the parts together--it probably wouldn't work so well for tenon corks, though, for this reason).

I don't know anything about Gorilla PVC cement, but what I do know is that most PVC cements work by essentially dissolving some of the PVC so that the PVC will fuse together when the cement (which is a solvent) evaporates (so it would really only be suitable for use on PVC--God only knows what it would do to Grenadilla). This Gorilla PVC stuff may or may not work that way--I don't know. But it is a different product from the regular "Gorilla Glue," to be sure.
