With duct tape I install and maintain duct work for a living if you want to seal the joints just wrap the tape around the duct. If you need to cover a hole you will need to screw a piece of metal on the duct over the hole and tape over the edges of your patch. this is the simplest and cheapest way I know to do it.
Pipe dope and/or teflon tape
First, make sure the pipe threads are clean and in good condition. Hold the end of the tape flat against the pipe threads, flush with the end of the pipe, then turn the pipe clockwise, or as though you were tightening it. Put 1-1/2 to 2 turns of tape on the pipe, keeping the tape flat and tight against the pipe as you turn, then thread the pipe immediately into the fitting. The reason for doing it this way is so the loose end gets pinned down by the action of screwing the pipe in, rather than getting flipped up.
Yes, temporarily. In the long run it's more efficient to get the pipe glue relevant to that pipe,
I found that the Pipe Friendly Tape Measure by tekforce is far more accurate and cuts the hassle.
If copper, drain the water out of the pipe, clean the spot and solder over the hole. Steel, either replace a section of pipe, take apart and reassemble making sure the joints have enough dope or teflon tape on them to seal.
To repair a hole in drywall using mesh tape, first clean the area around the hole. Cut a piece of mesh tape to cover the hole and place it over the hole. Apply joint compound over the tape, feathering the edges. Let it dry, sand it smooth, and apply a second coat if needed. Sand again and paint to finish.
Copper you can. Treat it as you would any other connection, clean the area, surface and hole, get the moisture out and solder a patch over it. Small hole, you can just use solder or you can cut a small piece of pipe in half, clean and flux it and put it over the hole. Steel pipe, you can braze over the hole, same basic process as soldering, clean and fill with braze.
The best method for repairing a leaky pipe using leaky pipe tape is to first clean and dry the area around the leak. Then, wrap the leaky pipe tape tightly around the pipe, overlapping the tape to ensure a secure seal. Finally, press the tape firmly in place to activate its adhesive properties.
To fix a hole in a PVC pipe, you can use a PVC pipe repair kit or epoxy putty. First, clean and dry the area around the hole. Then, follow the instructions on the repair kit or epoxy putty packaging to apply the material over the hole. Allow it to dry and cure according to the instructions before using the pipe again.

To effectively repair a hole in a copper pipe, you can use a pipe repair clamp or a soldering technique. First, turn off the water supply to the pipe. Clean the area around the hole and apply a pipe repair clamp over the hole, tightening it securely. Alternatively, you can cut out the damaged section of the pipe and solder a new piece in its place. Make sure to follow safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
The best method for sealing pipe joints is using Teflon tape.
To apply gas pipe thread tape properly for a secure and leak-free connection, start by wrapping the tape in the direction of the threads. Make sure to wrap the tape tightly and evenly around the male threads, overlapping the tape by half with each wrap. Avoid wrapping the tape over the end of the pipe. Finally, tighten the connection firmly to create a tight seal.

To effectively remove plumber's tape, you can use a wrench or pliers to loosen and unwind the tape from the threaded pipe or fitting. Be careful not to damage the pipe or fitting while removing the tape.
