Why not just put it outside on the balcony and leave it the hell alone? Fussing about it any more is just risking getting your hands blown off. Idiot. And all this faffing around with a time bomb while you have a kid to look after, totally irresponsible. Put a duvet over it and leave it alone. It's nearly Darwin award stuff
Seriously, why not just wrap it in blankets, put it all into some open lid container (trash bin, hamper, etc), and leave it on your balcony. There are so many better ways to handle this situation.
