Bricks, Masonry, Asphalt and Concrete - Does Anyone Know the Name of This Product?

I bought my home about twenty years ago. The first Spring rainy season there was a little moisture on the floor of one side of my basement. It was the wall where on the outside my concrete driveway comes right up to my brick exterior and so some water from rain down the side of my house or run-off from my driveway would get down the small crack where they meet and cause the moisture. No flooding or anything, just damp or a very small bit of water at most. That first year I went to the local hardware and bought a product they had. It was like as if you took a long strip of tar and and cut it into a roll about two or three inches wide, maybe a sixteenth to an eighth inch thick and twenty or so feet long, rolled up with a wax-paper backing on one side so it wouldn't stick to itself. You could then unroll it as you went along, removing the wax-paper and pushing it against the joint of the concrete and the brick. Being totally flexible it formed an "L" and being tar it stuck well to both the concrete and the brick. It worked perfectly, and maybe every two or three years it would start to get brittle and crack a little and so I'd just remove it, buy another roll and replace it again and I was good for another two or three years. I used to get it in my local hardware store (which has sense closed down) and then I'd find it at Aco or Ace and saw it in a few other stores as well. Last spring I needed to do it again and I was surprised that I couldn't find it anywhere. I must have checked at ten or twelve different stores, looking in every department like roofing, masonary, etc. The guys at the big-box places (like Lowes or Home Depot) didn't even have a clue what I was talking about (no big surprise). One of the older guys at Ace knew what I meant but said they hadn't had any of it for a couple of years and he really didn't even know exactly what it was called or exactly what it was specifically made for.

I tried using tar/asphalt-sealant from a tube and caulking gun, which worked slightly (poorly) and now with the wet season coming up I'd like to try to find that product again even if I have to order it from somewhere. But I don't even know what it was called to try to search for it. I'd gotten it made by a couple of different companies, but it was basically the same stuff. Tar (or tar-like stuff) that came in a rolled-up strip with a removeable wax-paper backing that was flexible and would stick to my wall and driveway.

Does anyone here know what I'm talking about and what the stuff is called or what it was designed to be used for originally or any information that might help me locate it somewhere?

Thanks.

A similar product is used today to seal around doors and windows of new construction before the siding is installed. Do not know the name yet.

Look for "peel-and-stick window flashing".

Thanks for the tip, Wirepuller. It's the right principle but not the same stuff. This is an actual rolled strip of tar (sure seems to be tar) stiffened just enough to not stick to your fingers (much) and then rolled up, backed on one side with a non-stick paper (like wax-paper). But I'm using your "peel and stick" phrase as another descriptive-term in my Search (Amazing how many products are "peel and stick" once you start looking!). Thanks.
