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?



Allow the gun to heat, and then without any pressure on the trigger,
pull and twist the bit sticking out the back of the gun. It should come
out - although you will need to cut the blobby end of the retrieved
stick to get it back in the gun later.
