Rigged Exhaust, will Aluminium foil work?

So my Exhaust rusted out, and I fixed it with a ravioli can and some hose clamps.However, can I wrap that section in Aluminium foil? Because there is still a little space between the exhaust and the can as it was broken at a angleBut will Aluminium foil do the job for taking care of the gap?
