Concrete isn't if designed with the odd additive. Lots of swimming pools made of it, and boats too.

Concrete IS porous. Practically all plastics aren't and practically all metals aren't, and I could be bothered, I could probably find a few more things. Concrete would need a plastic additive or a plastic sealer to be non porous.

So you conventionally refer to e.g. cake-with-rains-dates-and-walnuts-in, rather than 'cake' do you?

Hi! I have a similar problem! I currently live in a rented flat and am not really able to change items provided by the landlord but I do have the letting agents permission to redecorate the kitchen, including removing the old cooker splashback (1 ft. square Marley floor tiles which were insecurely fitted and looked a mess) and whilst the new tiles look great (even if I say so myself), the worktop is not very well fitted, especially round the sink area and the gap is too wide (in places) to seal with silicone! I need a sealing strip (quadrant profile) such as I have used before but the usual stores where I would expect to find these seem to have stopped stocking them! I can find ones intended for around baths (only available in white) but not for kitchens! Sounds like these could solve your problem too! I shall continue looking!
