Does anyone know what the preferred glue or sealant would be for
joining the mitered corner of a preformed countertop?The counter has a
particle board substrate with a moulded arborite top.the mitered corner
is joined by three bolts but it seems to me that some sort of glue
sealant should also be used.Am I correct or way of base?Any advice
appreciated,

I just went through this thing last week myself and yes you should/could use 
normal clear silicone gap sealant or try to find an acrylic sealant made by 
the manufacturer of the laminate material that would match the colour of the benchtop. 

A word of warning though, use very, very little otherwise you'll have trouble
keeping the parts aligned -they tend to slide on top of each other.
