Not the same repair (corners were basically missing). My "last ditch"
ugly but strong repair.

Used powder coated shelf metal bent quick and dirty, tab OC of
existing screw hole, epoxy etc.

At the very least, can say that 5 Minute epoxy holds well. Maybe epoxy
a metal frame around corner, fill as needed?
