When working rest the plate on a bit of foam rubber, this stops it from slipping and helps to avoid damaging the glaze-base round the edge if it has to be turned. For this reason the edge is always the last part to be painted. When the main part is finished, put the plate on a wheel and repair and paint the outer edge.
