I have a new Formica-type/laminate kitchen countertop. *Rather than it being

The problem I am having when I try using the clear 100% silicone is that the
space where the backsplash meets the countertop is really very thin and
virtually non-existent. *So, the silicone doesn't actually go under the
backsplash and fill the space to seal it. *The best I can do is get a tiny
bead into the 90-degree corner where the backsplash meets the countertop. *A
large bead, similar to caulking around a bathtub would look bad.

It almost seems to me that something like Superglue would work there because
it would tend to be drawn in under the backsplash through capillary action
and may help seal that space. *But, I'm not sure I want to do that, and I'm
not sure how much Superglue it would end up taking to do that.

My question is, does anyone know of any type of "thinner-than-silicone"
clear sealant that may work for sealing where the backsplash meets the
countertop?

Thanks.

Anything with silicone on it will never seal with anything else. Plan
your job accordingly.
