I was cleaning my bathtub and noticed it's rusty around the drain hole, then I accidentally popped a hole through the bathtub. I am going to replace it next week, but is it possible to temporarily fix it with hot glue?

I know there are some shower repair kits or that I could use epoxy glue, but will hot glue be enough?

Thanks

No, hot glue is not enough. And I hope that by "replace" you refer to the whole bath.

If it's a super critical emergency sand away the rust around the hole, being careful not to punch another one, and use some kind of silicone based sealant.

If you clean the area well, let your glue gun get nice and hot, and you lay a rubber or plastic patch over the top, I'd bet it would hold for a week. I've used hot glue extensively for repairs, some of which held back water. If done well it will work.
