bubble in heater hose

I just ordered a new one but I don't think it will come fast enough.
I am wondering if I can get a temp hose and run it until the set of two I ordered comes in.
Anyone ever done that?

Cant see a problem getting hose from auto parts house and replacing with same size. Permanently for that matter.

No, but most parts houses have them in rolls and you buy by the foot, The look to be like a 5/8 hose.

I did get the two 5/8 hoses installed. I'm not sure I will keep them after I get the exact fit hoses. Kind of hard to get the hoses to bend like they need to in a short run. I am wondering if I cut the hoses too long.
