Some sort of sticky tape is meant to go on the udnerside of electric hobs to cushion their support & prevent water ingress. What sort of tape is suitable?

FWIW I have some butyl gloop in tape form.

Silicone foam would be ideal, but given that the edges of hobs should
not get too hot then most foamed rubber would probably be OK. EVA,
nitrile, butyl?

I used a reasonably thick bead of silicone sealant to do that task, used
one that resists heat up to 300 degrees Centigrade which was probably
overkill for an induction Hob but had some left over from installation of
the wood burner and flue.
Still seems fine 6 years later.

The stuff I have seen on most hobs is more like blue tac than tape.

Sounds like the butyl tape. I reckon that'll do.

Thanks folks.

Is it? I never knew that.

Oh well, a bit of rust never did any harm.

With some hobs the installation instructions specify that /nothing/
should be used between hob and worktop (unless the worktop is tiled).
But since we're not told what make and model this hob is...

You were told it needs tape. I also didn't ask you to tell me when to wash my hands.

No we weren't. It was a generic question, "Some sort of sticky tape is
meant to go on the udnerside of electric hobs". Note "hobs" in plural.

"meant" "needs"

Were you told by anyone here to wash your hands? You lack of
comprehensive skills and your imaginative skills are noted.

BTW did you mean "underside" or "udnerside"?

I have installed two Bosch induction hobs at different locations.
Neither has any sticky tape. The first one had a metal surround and I
could push it out my removing the draw underneath. The second one is
just ceramic and has to be leavered out using a thin blade. There is an
oven underneath.

My Bosch induction hob has tape around the edge, it came pre-fitted with
the tape.
There is nothing to stop water going under it without and you aren't
supposed to silicon them in.

That is interesting. I have just tried to push the first one I bought
out from underneath and it does not want to move so maybe it is stuck in
somehow. It failed when it was new and a Mr Bosch had to come and change
the circuit boards so it did come out a few times when it was new. It
has fans and has to have an air slot uner the worktop for cooling. The
newer one did not need a slot. Its instructions just say not to use sealant.
