What kind of foam tape do I need?

Question

I'm looking for something very 'squashable' to fill a small gap between a (slightly bowed over time) worktop and an induction hob. Most draught-excluder type tapes I see are too resilient to fill the gap, since they retain their thickness all around. I want something only a few mm thick, but which can easily compress like weak sponge to almost nothing where required. Does this sort of stuff have a special name?
