Any sand used in an hourglass should be dry. If there is any moisture in the sand, it may clump, or simply not flow smoothly through the narrow portion (the metering portion) of the hourglass. As an aside, if you take "regular" sand, spread it out on a canvas in the sun or on a baking sheet in a warm oven, you'll drive off the moisture and end up with dry sand. If your salt is clumping, try drying it in the sun or on a warm (not hot) stove or in a warm oven. Works every time.
