You can try using ethanoic acid (vinegar) instead. It is much safer and more easily obtainable, although is is a weaker acid. But the characteristic vinegar smell is likely to give you away so if you are performing a close up project then it is not recommended.

Another alternative is to use citric acid. Aqueous citric acid looks like hydrochloric acid (both colourless) and does not have that smell. You can buy that in baking shops.
