Default Getting a part used stick out of a hot glue gun

Standard procedure if you are using the same glue type is just to put a
new glue stick in and push the old one through as you use it up.

I need to change from wood glue to general purpose glue.

Is there a way to get the old stick out and preserve at least some of it
for future use?
Without buggering up the gun, of course.

Or is this a waste of thought and effort as the glue sticks are cheap?

Get it warm, when it is you should be able to pull the current stick out
of the back end. Fit new stick and pump through until you detect that
the material has changed.
