My grease gun ran out in the middle of greasing a 60" Haban and for whatever reason my last purchase was Red Sticky grease. So I reloaded the gun and just pushed grease till it came out red. Any reason not to use the Red Sticky?

The stickier the better
I've never heard of red sticky grease. Is there a more technical or brand name for it?
There are multiple grades and kinds of grease for specific purposes. It will most likely be fine.
I have found on stuff that doesn't get used much that some types of grease will set up and I have a heck of a time getting it to take grease again with out taking apart and cleaning. I mostly use black gun grease for this reason on a lot of stuff. Wheel bearings are a different story tho.

I’m sure the Red n Tacky from Lucas is good grease. For my area most local auto parts stores have it priced in the $10.00 range. I usually buy a carton of grease about every 3-4 months. I most always just buy Lithium based grease at $3.29.
