It is the baking soda/water solution that conducts the electricity. I brushed it on while still on the lathe to get the dimensions right, then moved it to the pyro rig. I had to refresh the solution on the rim, since the pyrography dries it out pretty quickly, but having the areas previously dampened made it pretty easy.
