William,
This is not a good idea unless you enjoy practicing your stainless welding
skills every weekend; the system will crack if denied the functioning of its
slip joints. Lubricating with copperslip often results in some partial
coking-up of the joint as the copper slip burns off. The smoke from the
burning copperslip also provides an indication of how much is getting into
the cockpit..
Shrinking down the female part of he slip joint may help if it is
particularly loose. However, the pipes aren't seamless or particularly
round, so a perfect joint is not easy to achieve.
Another job this winter?!
