Wire crossing above a cooker

    Picked up an Ikea strip lighting system for the kitchen. Just a cheap bit of kit to see how it looks without having to chase walls or anything. I'm just wondering now what to do to bring one wire around the wall behind the hob. I had a thought of running it along the edge of the top of the tiles then running some silicone over it to seal it in. Can anyone tell me if this would be ok or suggest another product to seal it?
    Thanks in advance

    Put up a photo or 2 of the setup, at varying distances from it.

    Could you run it up through one of the presses and across the top and back down through another press?

    Silicone-ing it up the side would be dreadful.

    That is something I'm considering alright lee, its just that part where the tiles end I was looking at running the wire across that lip. It is hidden from view. Would silicone do here or do I need something else with the heat and steam from cooking ?
