Get one of those moisture absorber thingys that Jared suggested to someone when they had water on the inside of their lens. Hold on, I'll get you a link.

[Vaughn Whynot]

it will hopefully work on that too

Try the same thing. Put ur mic in a tupperware container with some of those things, too. I would maybe let it air dry if you don't wanna try that, thoug.

sugar pop is shit
sticky stuff when it drys

[happyhands man]

be very fast wrap in sponges and duct tape the sponges so they are tight on the camera but not breaking them but have someone changing around the sponges so the wet parts arent always touching the camera. then run down to a industrial supply store or divers store and get a few packets of desiccant and put your stuff in a plastic bag with those packets and they are supposed to absorb liquid and moisture from small places

do you have any cans of that compressed air for cleaning dust off your keyboard
or even a air compressor
you might be able to blow some of the liquid off

[happyhands man]

did it work?

Is your warranty still good? You can use all the desiccant you want, but it'll only absorb the water in the drink...not the fructose and such.

It hurts to say this, but you might just be screwed. :(

Put all of your equipment in the oven for a while on 350 degrees, or better yet, but it in your microwave for five minutes. It'll dry it right up.

TAKE BATTERIES OUT OF EVERYTHING and DON'T TURN ANYTHING ON because if you do it will probably fry it. Leave everything to dry for a couple of days before trying to turn it on. Open all of the compartments in everything (tape deck, battery compartment, etc..) while they're drying. DON'T TRY TO TURN ANYTHING ON!

i would just suggest going over anything with a slight damp cloth to remove any sticky residues and then dry with a soft fabric. leave to completely airdry for a bit and then check to make sure there's no stickiness left. that will save the outside of your equiptment and lessen the risk of more stuff leaking inside.

Soda is acidic, so if something doesnt work theres a slight chance that some metal contacts in the device couldve corroded

If your warranties have expired on your equiptment, you can use this site (http://www.grynx.com/projects/salvage-your-device-after-liquid-spill/1/) as a general guide (dont follow it exactly) to try to salvage your stuff

Best of luck
