In removing beer from a keyboard I usually try to reason with the
keyboard, convince I'm working in it's best interests and that it's
had enough.  If I can't do that I steal its keys so it can't drive.

Seriously, sounds like you've done bad damage to the board.  I think
you'll find that the time spent repairing it could be better justified
by getting one of a gazillion used and unwanted Mac Plus keyboards
from users who have upgraded.  Make me an offer on mine for example.
