Default Spill guard for the refrigerator

Looking for a "spillguard" Have only seen the ones that go in the space
between oven and counter (i.e. it's a T shape). Know where to get one for
the refrigeator.

If you don't come up with anything better, Go to hardware or auto parts
store and get
a roll of aluminum adhesive tape 4" and use it. For added strength you
can add layers.
I use it for between counter and stove. works fine. You have to renew
it now and then , but nothing last forever. If you ever want to remove
the adhesive that stays after removig adhesive tape just wipe it off
with a rag with a little mineral spirits. Also good for removing labels
from jars & cans. Every household should have mineral spirits on hand,
its a great remover of a lot of things. Just remember it is also
flameable.

Sounds quite tacky to me. Tape filling the crack between counter top &
whatever.
