QUOTE: Do you think if i cut the end off of this hose aand attached it to the end of the other hose with masking tape,(air tight), it might work? I i'm worried about back pressure causing a big bang. I have no intention of making my house go boom, so please help!

Nope. Masking tape, or any other kind of tape (with the possible exception of vinyl electrical tape and I have doubts about that), will not work. It will never be air tight. Unless you are running an awful lot of pressure the worst that will happen is that the hose will pop loose, but it is going to leak.
What you might be able to do is get a piece of brass tubing the same size as the inside of the hose, put the two cut hose ends over it, and then put two hose clamps over the ends to seal the splice.
Of course, you could also just get a good-quality hose and be done with it.
