Vatcan on Rusty Exhaust?

I'm guessing this is a no go, but thought I'd ask seeing as I'm needing to fix a couple of exhaust leaks, and would like to find out if its worth treating rusty area before repairing with gum, and bandage.?

I do plan on replacing the whole exhaust system, but seeing as the price is so high, I need to fix the leak as a longterm temp fix whilst I save my hard earned. Will be buying a section at a time, as this is the only way I can afford it due to low income.

It'll get too hot i reckon, and don't they normally rust from the inside out?

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I guess I will temp repair, and hope I can source a complete exhaust before out MOT test here in August.
