So how many flats are you getting?

I always carry a spare inner tube with me. When I flat I take the punctured inner tube home. I used to throw them in a box and wait for a rainy Saturday afternoon to patch a whole batch of tubes all at one time. When you do it that way, waiting for the glue to dry isn't a big deal. The last few years I've had so few flat tires that I can't remember the last time that I've patched any tubes.
