Just remembered a trick from a Reno job in 2019

We had a vaulted ceiling with a tricky seam. The foreman had us mix a little extra water into a small batch of mud, just for that one seam, to slow the dry time in the heat. It let us get a way smoother finish before it set. Anyone else ever adjust mix consistency for specific spots like that?

Yeah, I was totally stuck on the new way of doing it until an old-timer showed me that trick too, @wyatt_green. It just works better for the weird stuff we get in here. Changed my whole routine.
