The apparatus includes elongated plates having longitudinal flanges and is fixed to the under surfaces of the countertop sections to be joined. Modified C-clamps connect the flanges for facile tightening by either a right or left handed installer and the apparatus may comprehend a drip catching slat between the elongated plates and seam to be joined for decreasing spills during gluing or otherwise filling of the countertop seam.
