As for the type of gorilla glue I would think the wood glue or just the original. I think in this instance I would go with the wood glue and the toothpicks......simply for the clean up...I seem to have issues with the original stuff getting all over everything..........including my beard.

I certainly didn't invent the tooth pick trick, but the first time I ever used it was around 1975.
It's probably something that I saw my dad do when I was still in short pants. He was what was known as a "finish carpenter." It's probably in my DNA, becoming a carpenter was a possible career choice and my son is a cabinet maker, he's been a journeyman for 30+ years.
I use the stuff that get's in your beard, but it's kind of embarassing though, having all them bald patches.
