Default Silicone glue on PUR foam

Hi,
i have tried to cover PUR foam with transparent silicone. But the silicone does not bond to the glossy surface of the foam very well and can be easily separated.
Do i need to cut the glossy surface of the foam to make the surface more coarse ?

it would help. you could also use hot glue. if you are going to seal it later you can use construction glue... comes in a caulk tube... glues anything.

Yea I would agree. That would help. Other options might prove better. I've had some luck covering polystyrene in great stuff and then cutting/shaping/siliconing
