Default differences ? stained glass soldering iron and electrical soldering iron
In article ,
says...

is a stained glass iron use able for rosin core solder on copper?

It should be fine. You should make sure the tip is cleaned of any acid
type flux before using the iron on copper and rosin type solder. That
is usually not a problem as when you clean the tip as you should befor
putting it to solder the old flux will come off.

Back in my very young days (before 16) I put together a couple of radio
kits using the soldering pencil looking thing that came in a wood
burning art kit I had. They all worked fine.
