You could try the old "bag of rice" trick with it, but I'm not sure if it would still be wet after 3-4 days or not. When you say soda water do you mean just plain club soda? Or anything sugary that would dry to more of a syrup than anything.

I'm not a rocket surgeon, but even club soda has some sodium in it that could crystallize & possibly wreak havoc on the circuits.
