same freeze happened here ....

cuts from root & stem pruning leaves open "wounds", that if wet, may rot ....the idea of air drying is to allow the wound to dry / callous over, sealing the wound ...that takes about 10 to 14 days ...or less, if humidity / dew-point is low

but sealing with super-glue changes all that ... am guessing here (since I have never used super-glue on adeniums - but sounds like a really good idea) ... if the cuts look "water tight", and firm to the touch - then I would suggest repot now ..

have never used Ocean Forest potting soil ..sounds rich in nutrients, but would suggest you add more
inorganic material (like rocks, pebbles, lava rock, poultry grit, lump charcoal, large grain sand) to make your potting medium more chunky / gritty and faster draining

lifting about an inch is good .....
