All the DAG assembly is, is a conductor to the monitor chassis to
complete the circuit for the rather large HV capacitor that the picture
tube is. There is very little current (microamps to a few milliamps) so
any exposed wire snugly held across a section of the aquadag coating is
sufficient - usually the aquadag is connected by a braided wire or metal
film across the rear of the bell housing from one kitty-corner to the
other with the conductor pulled to the corner of the hypotenuse so it
won't rub up against the yoke.

In other words: Yes.
