It will work, anything grandular will work. Advised, NO. Anything you use to stop bleeding ultimately has to be removed. Removal of Quick Clot, Salt, Sand ect will be painful at the least and depending on what is used "quick clot" will usually make the wound worse on removal as is usually takes a lot of digging to get it out. Any kind of cloth or gauze along with direct pressure is best. When the time comes to remove cloth or gauze you just have to soak it with saline solution and it comes right off. If you can't stop it with direct pressure and a good dressing then pouring something in it isn't going to work either, it's tourniquet time at that point.
