Just say NO. I had to fix a trumpeter's main tuning slide yesterday, for this very reason. It was falling out because of a home-done lapping job with industrial-grit methods.
In the shop, instrument repairmen are prepared to remedy the slide safely, quickly, and inexpensively. I expanded the trumpet main tuning slide, lapped it to properly fit, cleaned it and lubed it, had them on their way in less than 20 minutes, and all for the minimum shop charge.
