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?

I have that problem with changing colours of glue sticks. I create
hot-melt string, running out the whole of the remaining stick while
pushing in the new stick , with the gun held over a clean sheet of
metal, weaving back and forth, cold-shocks solid quickly into string,
holding farther off the sheet produces thinner string..
I use the string like using solder , wiith an old soldering iron , for
small gluing jobs. Mixing colours like paint on a pallette sometimes.
The alternative is to use 2 melt guns , one for each type of formulation.

Steady! They're at least 7 quid each !!!!
