I was wondering if anyone knew the lower limit of acid concentration you can get away with to make ap... The forum I think says 30 percent but has anyone tried it with lower concentrations and got it to work?

You certainly don't need 30%, nearly any concentration will work although you may have to use more in order to have enough ions to catalyse the reaction.
Most people use around 30% HCl as this is the concentration is commonly comes in.

I have been making my AP using 20% muriatic acid. Im not sure but I think muriatiac acid is just another name for HCl or are they different?
