Help with name for a molding product?

I wanted to buy some stuff but don't know the name for it--I am replacing the countertop in my rv kitchen. On the rear of the counter where it attached to the wall of the trailer, I need some molding that prevents water from getting into the seam and wrecking the particleboard.

What's that stuff called? Is there a better way to seal off the back edge?

    Rather than using molding, you can always use silicone caulking. To give the seam a good clean looking joint, mask above and below the joint, run a thin bead of caulking, smooth it out with your finger then remove the tape while the caulking is still wet.


    brilliant, that's my plan many thanks

    That's what I thought, the old stuff was a rubbery plastic molding that was stapled to the back side of the counter prior to instalation
