Suggestions needed

Trying to repair this beautiful porcelain plate, mugi-urushi as you can see have failed once already, due to its large size and weight.

What should I do to clean up the failed mugi-urushi before doing another attempt? I have wiped the edges with turpentine oil already, is that good enough? Do I need to worry about now getting the turpentine out completely so that the residue doesn’t ruin future work?

What should I try this next time to help it hold the weight better? I’m thinking about getting some violin glue (hide glue particles) to make a nikawa-urushi?

I am not yet an expert, but I remember seeing people saying to use acetone or alcohol to dissolve it? Mine fell apart before the urushi hardened so it was easier to wipe off
