plaster and deflocculation

Can a deflocculant be used with plaster?

Thinking about the last time I mixed a batch of plaster brings back the
horror of the mess it made of the mixing bucket. It had started to
harden just as I was going to pour it.

If a defloc is used with plaster what would it be and how would the
material react? I thought it might lengthen or ruin curing.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
