How to a corner join on curved benchtop with no masons mitre?

I have a 28mm thick worktop that has a slight curve on the edge which I am using as part of a low budget kitchen renovation. This will be my kitchen countertop.

The issue I have just found out before I was about to cut is the front has a slight curve to it, so when I join the corner piece it will be joining against a straight edge and will obviously have a bit of a gap. 

 

given it is only 28mm I cannot use a masons mitre. Is there any other option I can use to make the corner joins look seamless? I was considering just using joint compound, silicone and painting over it to attempt to close the gap where the curve is.

 

any help is greatly appreciated!!

As the finished join will have a dirt trapping groove, would you recommend some form of clear epoxy to fill it level to the benchtop @MitchellMc ?

That's certainly a possibility, @Nailbag. Or perhaps a silicone as @JR2 was thinking earlier. I'm not sure how long silicone would last, though.
