I have a round plastic ceiling rose in our kitchen

I guess the heat from the bulb below may have distorted it,

I've tried turning it with a (not very good) plumber's wrench,
after applying WD50 liberally, but this just slipped round.

I thought of drilling two holes in the flat bottom,
inserting screws and using a screwdriver or similar to turn it.
Any better suggestions?



Either an oil filter removal too or one of those cheap plastic/rubber
jam jar lid removal gizmos used if you have weak/arthritic/elderly
wrists - I have used the same thing for uncrewing a bottle trap waste.
Useful tool for all sorts of stuff.
