Can I use a sealing Iron as seen here

In place of a Tacking Iron?
They looks just about the same to me except the price.
I need a tacking and well I'm a photographer on a budget to match.

I have that exact model, i got it from a rc car hobby shop. It works fine, i would get the non-stick sleeve that goes over the iron to keep glue from sticking to it.

Thanks, It looks like it will do the job. Easier to handle than my wife's iron.
