Default CWD and Cocofiber

Hey guys planning a big enclosure for my CWD and have seen a couple of pictures of people using Coco fiber and silicone on the background. I was planning on using grout on mine, which is what i have right now, was given to buy previous CWD owner. but I really like how the Coco fiber looks in comparison seems more natural to a WD then grout does. so really I have two questions.

Does anyone have a good link to a guide for applying it and also can you still put it over grout or is it suppose to go right over the great stuff?

Second question(I know the first is really 2) Probably should of asked this first but if Coco fiber okay to use with CWD and how long does it last?

The biggest problem you will face with it is the CWD will be able to claw it off. Titebond 3 would be a better adhesive and can go over grout or bare glass

ya, i would do two layers but it will end up more like a shell. if you wanted you could mix in tree fern panels or cork bark or branches into it as well that would be gripable
