Laminate separation on countertop

I have a laminate kitchen counter top where the laminate has started to separate from the base. Plus a chipped section of laminate on the corner. Short of buying a new counter top, is there some kind of fix that would be less costly. I can't just paint/coat it due to the separation.

if you can fill the gap with caulk or wood filler (ask at paint store) and sand it smooth, you can paint then, and seal it. Should be easy.
There is a contact glue available for attaching laminate to the wood base. If you can get underneath with a long object and force some of the glue into the space, Put a heavy object on top until it dries. The corner could be fixed by putting a little fiberglass compound in there and smoothed out before it dries. The fiberglass compound is available wherever they sell automotive supplies. The contact glue is available at your hardware store.
