Can I use duct tape to cover asbestos tape until I can afford to have it removed professionally?

The asbestos is currently attached to an old fashioned “octopuss” (gravity based heating system). In particular, the arms or “runs” that stem from the main unit are covered (or insulated) in asbestos. I was wondering…would it be safe to cover the asbestos tape with duct tape just to prevent particles from becoming airborne in the basement? Will the duct tape melt or otherwise become toxic by doing this? I’m trying to find a middle of the way solution until I can afford the $6,000 cost of having it removed by a professional asbestos removal service. Thank you very much for your input! It is very appreciated:)

be care full what ever u do. is your life really worth $6000?
the tape solution would work, for a short time.
if u try anything on your own u must buy a pair of disposable coveralls, good gloves, boots u don’t mind throwing out and a mask (don’t skimp here spend some money, have it fitted by a pro)
use the duct tape to tape the cuffs of the coveralls to your gloves and boots. ventilate the basement well, and make sure u throw out everything when u are done(keep the mask throw out the filters)
