Mistakenly Added Double The Shortening To Fondant

I use Artisan Cake Co's fondant recipe, but this time my brain was not in gear and I added a cup of shortening to each recipe. So now I have over ten pounds of fondant that contains double the correct amount of shortening. Is it going to droop over my layers? I need to make a very large flag to drape over two rectangular layers down to the cake board, and it has to travel well. Cake crisis!
The only thing I know to suggest is to knead in a bit more sugar to make it more firm and maybe a small amount of tylose. I am constantly adding shortening to my fondant and gum paste for conditioning, so I doubt it will be that much of a problem.
