How do you salt the tops of glasses for margaritas, and what salts best?!
Next comes the salt (or salt/sugar) dipping. On a saucer or plate large enough for the entire rim to be dipped at once, pour enough salt so it is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Then dip the rim on, twirling around so the salt sticks on the entire rim. Then fill with the margarita of choice and serve!
Answers: The first way is to cut a piece of lime and rub it along the rim of the glass. Alternatively, you can dip the rim in a small amount of lime juice on a large enough saucer or plate to be able to dip the entire rim at once.

Wet the rim (use Roses Lime Juice if you have it) sprinkle salt on a paper towel (use coarse salt) turn glass upside down on salted papertowel and apply!
You can also go buy Margarita salt at most liquor stores. It comes in a special container that kind of looks like a Sombrero (you put the salt in the rim of the "hat"). This is good for regular-sized glasses but doesn't usually work for over-sized Margarita glasses!
Non iodized regular salt.
Take a piece of lime and rub it around the edge... then dip it in the salt. It will stick to the damp edge.
Mmmm...margaritas! Pour some kosher salt (or if you prefer, some stores sell flavored salt for drink rims) on a small plate or saucer, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it and then turn the glass over on the salt to coat!
Salt needs to stick to something... traditional is lime juice or water. Alternte methods include honey. Any way you choose is fine and depends on the flavors in the margarita. I prefer Kosher or sea salt to all other kinds in all of my dishes, specifically for taste.
