Default Oh pipe doped spark plugs

So this isnt about a ford but still a engine

3 years ago i changed the plugs in my gf's 4 banger, and as rule of thumb i always antisease on anything i take apart for ease removal.... well my friend was over and i was like hey grab the antisease going throw some on these plugs....well he hands me this can and it was a gray compound in a can with no label...looked at it for a second was like where did u find this...(the antisease we always use is gold in color) hes like it was over there on the shelf i was like huh ok whatever, our antisease at work is gray so didnt think twice about it. put it on the plugs torqued em in and that was that...she headed back home....well my dad comes home and goes hey what did you use that pipe dope on....i was like WHAT So i prayed that she would get a new car b4 anything went wrong....wellll getting a cylinder missfire and im not sure about takeing the plugs out....should i do it while its hot/warm/cold, it is aluminum...i dont wanna bring the threads out with it.
