Should I pull up the blue painter's tape very soon after the 2nd coat
of paint or should I wait until the paint is dry?

Thanks a lot!

I always remove as soon as I can so the paint doesn't cure.

If I have to leave it on for a second coat, I cut the junction with a
utility knife to separate the paint on the wall (or trim) from the
paint on the tape.
