clean off the bracereally well get a piece of acrylic , cut it the same width & Lenght and use weld on glue to secure it. do it when your lights are just turning off

I see nothing other than a small crack in the left corner. Not a problem IMO, but fill it with weld on 16 after a thorough cleaning (mentioned above) if you want.

IMO, I wouldn't trust Weldon 16. I'd clean it really well and use some Weldon 4 to sister it up with another piece of acrylic. Just make sure to cover the water really well to catch any stray drips. Weldon 4 is a waterlike consistency, so it can get pretty messy.

No, it will rust. I have seen stainless rust after a day or two with saltwater dripped on it
