It turned out fine because I spent an inordinate amount of time making sure that the gap was good and sealed (and not a big effing mess). It would have been so much easier if I'da had that 1/16 or so gap to use to seal the corner.
I have to watch carefully to make sure the caulk is still intact, especially behind the faucet area; hopefully the caulk in the color I need is still available in case I need to do touch up.

What color is it and is counter top same material as back splash? If close enough to white then find some Polyseamseal and caulk it up. They stay put pretty well and clean up with water before it dries. Comes in varies colors and it may not be the exact match, but close enough in a small gap. Over time, it may have to be cut out and re-done due to dirt but that's with all caulking. At my mother's house, its been a bit dirty but its was done by 20 years ago. I just need to cut it out with a razor blade and reseal.
