Is there any way to safely store Aqua Regia? I know it's unstable but surely there is something I can do/add to attempt to Stabilize it instead of having to mix it each time?

Only mix only what you plan to use. There is no saving it.

Don't mix it at all.

This has been covered many times on the forum. Calculate the required amounts for the job at hand and to all the HCL needed add the nitric in increments. You are less likely to over shoot and interfere with the precipitation. And no storage issues.
