Bit late for your ceiling, but for future reference, I just remembered there are some gypsum retarding agents discussed in this 40yr old technical document:

Read this a few weeks ago and noted one of the agents used as an accelerator is a by product of Gypsum.
Wonder if it is the same ingredient used in the new BG fastset?
