Joining Ikea Numerar benches?

Hi,

So I've almost finished my Ikea kitchen install, and I've got to say for the money I'm bloody impressed with the quality, fit and finish of everything. For $3k we got a very nice, practical kitchen with more than just standard white doors. We priced a flatpack kitchen from elsewhere, and using stock standard white stuff they quoted $8k plus install for a similar set-up.

The question I have is the best way to join the two Numerar benchtops? It's a L-shape kitchen. Should I take the laminate edging off where they'll join, seal the bare wood then use bench joiners? I'd really like to avoid the obvious join if possible that'd be there if I left the edges on.

What's the best product to seal the edges before I glue and pull them together?

Cheers,
Ben
