Default Cracked Crankcase breather hose

I'm ready to start the car after a replacing the entire cooling system and ignition system.

As I put the breather hose on the throttle body (the one from the passenger valve cover) it split. It's about an inch long split.

I ordered a new one but was thinking I could seal the split with some electrical tape until the new one arrives.

Thoughts?

I've done similar in the past on a hose that isn't under pressure. Used both electrician or duct tape successfully till able to get a replacement.
