In the case of high-inclination (polar) launches the latitude does not matter, but the Cape Canaveral area is not suitable because inhabited areas underlie these trajectories; Vandenberg Air Force Base, Cape Canaveral's West coast counterpart, or the smaller Kodiak Launch Complex in Alaska is used instead.
Step 2 - Rinse Your Brush. Having purged your paint brush of wet paint, you're ready to rid it of any caked-on dry paint as well. If the dried paint is oil-based, begin this step by pouring turpentine onto the stained bristles. Alternatively, if the dried paint is water-based, you'll need to rinse your brush beneath a faucet. When using a faucet to rinse the brush, make sure the water temperature is lukewarm. If the water is too hot, some of your brush's bristles are liable to fall off.
Take a paint scraper, and chip off the bubbled paint from all the flat surfaces of the metal. For crevices and harder-to-reach areas, switch to a scrubbing pad or nylon brush (you can use the one from Step 2, but first give it a good wash and trim the bristles short!) and continue to chip away.ext, dampen a rag with mineral spirits and wipe the surface down. This will remove any leftover flakes of lifted paint and the bulk of the remaining chemical residue. STEP 5. Thoroughly rinse off the metal with water to completely remove all traces of the stripper, then wipe it down using a fresh, dry rag.
