is the coco husk COMPLETELY dry? If it is even the tiniest bit moist it will NOT stick to the silicone.

If the area will not have water running down it, you might try the concrete binder/coco fiber/husk method, I've done it and it's better, IMO, than coco fiber/husk and silicone. I have also read that you can use Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue for areas where you need a waterproof application, I'll be trying that as soon as I can.

As well, a really thick layer of silicone helps to give you something you can press quite a bit of stuff into. Press a bunch in and pile more on to leave overnight, at least, for better results. And like froggsong says, whatever you're putting on has to be completely dry.
