Silicone does not stick to acrylic well. Also, putting it on the bottom side is a really bad idea. You can buy some acrylic and acrylic cement and glue a piece down over the top of the holes, however even that is not always foolproof. Bulkheads are the safest option. I know that's not what you want to hear, but it is the truth. Best of luck to you.
