It ok to leave base mixed with reducer correct?

Probably for a few months.

Yes, just make sure its covered. Add hardener when you are going to spray it if you choose to go that route.

Unactivated, yes, but it's not best practice. Reduction encourages settling which makes it more likely that some pigments will be left around the seam at the bottom of the can.

Shake the heck out of it. I leave mixed base in a closet in the house all the time. I used glass jars...when comes time to use I usually mix a small amount of fresh and then mix with the old. Don't know if it does anything but it makes me feel good about it

Some Bloxygen might help prolong its life.

Base shouldn't really be that reactive with moisture or oxygen. But putting inert gas into the can won't hurt. I think where Bloxygen shines the best is with activators.

Might prevent it from skimming over. Plus, I have their stock.

Base is literally good for years.

Some more than others, but generally yes.
