    Here's a thought that occurs to me-- how about coating the inside of
    the shakers with that rubber stuff that you can dip tool handles
    into? Pour it in, pour it out. Or maybe use lacquer instead. There
    are a lot of coatings to choose from, and the inside if a salt
    shaker is not subject to much by way of stress or abrasion, so it
    should hold up well.
