I'm thinking about making Acetone Peroxide and I was wonering if there was anything you could use to substitute for the sulfuric acid.
If not then where would you be able to get sulfuric or Hydrochloric acid.

H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid) can be found as a drain opener in most hardware stores, and it's also used in large batteries and can be found in auto parts stores.
HCI (Hydrochloric Acid) can also be bought in hardware stores under the common name of "Muriatic Acid" and it's also used as a pool chemical so try a pool supply store or a pool supply section of a store.
