Such a thing as a soft, flexible silicon strip?

| We are soon to install a nat'l colored, green'ish glass vessel bathroom sink into a granite counter top we've picked & that we're having installed in our powder room. We are recessing the sink about 1/3 of the way down and the prob. is that the exterior of the sink has bumps and waves in its design so that a pure circle in the granite will leave gaps between the hills and valleys: about 1/4" difference in the profile from the hills to the valleys. We were thinking (and told) that there is a clear silicon strip one can buy (for window installs?) that we could use to wrap around the cut-out in the granite that would be "squishy" enough to compress into the gaps and promote a much better seal & help keep the sink steady. Of course, we would also run a bead of clear silcone on top of the counter. I've searched and searched and can't find anything like this. I'm not talking about clear tape but something thicker - maybe with the texture of a gummy bear (well, similar to it, lol). We want it "clear" since we felt it would be less visible than a white strip. Open to other suggestions, of course. And thank you. |

| How about a piece of silicon tubing. There are many diameters to choose from. |

| Well, perhaps that's a possibility if it's flexible enough! I'm thinking as in "medical" grade maybe, the type used for going in or out of one's body following surgery? Hmmm, I'll have to see if I can find that. Thanks so much!! Anyone else??? |
