If I gel daylight photofloods, will it be tungsten?

The reason I'm asking is I have a roll of 3200k gels (orange). The store near me sells daylight 120v 500w photofloods for $5.99 versus $29.99 120v 500w tungsten lighting. If I gel, will it give a close result? Thanks.
 
Yes if you gel daylight bulbs with Full CTO you'll have tungsten balance (or pretty close to it).
 
Don't forget that you will be losing light by adding correction...
