B&Q supply their customers with Colorfill as they expect the worktops to be fitted by amateurs. As Chip says you should be using waterproof PVA adhesive.
If you have used the jig and router correctly there should be no need for Colorfill. If you want to achieve the perfect joint once you have clamped the two faces together with a liberal coating of PVA, try lifting the worktop with the male joint at the far end and wedge an offcut of chipboard between the worktop and the base unit. You will see a thin line of PVA ooze out of the joint. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and leave wedged for about an hour.
Perfect joint every time.
