But it says on the pack it is a filler and glue
Kitchen worktop lifting

I have used it a few times. It is a filler and adhesive. It is pretty good at sealing mason mitres on laminated worktops.
That said, the underside clamps are doing the heavy lifting with regards to holding the joints tight.
You do need to use the small bottle of solvent to remove any excess immediately though.
Did you use the clamps recommended to hold it in place whilst the product cured?
No, I managed to flatten the bumps with clamps for a few days and then filled. I feared clamping after filling would squeeze out excess that would set hard as I have to use wooden blocks with the clamps.
Colorfil is c*ap that is my professional opinion. Wheras Bushboard Complete is both an Adhesive and Sealant and I use it and recommend it.
Colorfil cures in about 6 minutes from opening making it very stressful doing worktop joints and cost about £8.00 for 25gram tube, whereas BB Complete starts to cure at about 20 minutes and costs £30.00 290ml tube.
I fit fails again, buy colour match BB complete.

@chirpychippy you learn something every day. Thanks for the tip 
So if not a silicone, is it a MS polymer?
I get what you are saying about Colorfil. I have only used it a few times but you have to remove any squeeze out using the solvent immediately.
The next time I will try the BB.
Thanks for the recommendation.
