Open air, give it 15-20 minutes per coat. I use one coat before driving to the gig, but must keep your hand flat so it doesn't bubble up in one spot. That bubble takes longer to dry of course.
Make sure it is fresh glue too. Old bottles take longer to dry and sometimes never dry correctly and you are left with very flakey weak protection.
I saw a luthier use an accelerator to speed up the time it takes super glue to dry. If it's safe to use on skin or nails it could be useful. Might be worth looking into...
how often do you glue? I just started glueing and polishing my thumb and index, mainly because my nails wearing off so quickly. But I have to put every two days glue on it, do I something wrong?

Play too much?? Make sure it is FRESH. Treat the glue bottle like food. Keep it in a plastic bag when not using. It will dry better and last longer. Normal playing should last a week or so. Lots or rasgueado or for dancers, one day, or one concert.
