Default Fuse box tops

I am sending some of my engine pieces away to be done and I am going to be removing the tops of the fuse box holders in the engine bay to have them done. Will it be OK to cover them with duct tape and seal it tight or is there something else I should use?

Yeah,

Will be fine. There shouldn't be any water in there anyway, but some duct tape I am sure would be great.

duct tape will leave glue behind with the heat . i would use a tape with not so much glue. i will be a bigger pain to clean.

Any suggestions? Will blue painters tape work? Any problems with the heat in the engine bay?
