Small chip on front tooth - Is there any reason I shouldn't use a DIY bonding kit?

I chipped a very small corner of my front tooth years ago and I've had dental bonding on it twice. The first one broke off within a couple months, and the second one lasted a few years... until yesterday. The small piece of composite randomly chipped off while eating.

I film Youtube videos and I can't bear to create media content with a chipped tooth. I can't see a dentist right now obviously due to the pandemic, as they aren't accepting appointments except in case of dental emergency.

That said, has anyone used this Prime-Dent Chemical Cure Composite DIY tooth bonding kit? I've watched some youtube videos on it and it seems fairly simple temporary fix. I'm just curious to see if anyone else has used it or if any dentists actually recommend this in a pinch, considering I'm not able to see my dentist right now. I plan on going to a dentist as soon as I can but it could be as late as September, October... nobody really knows given the state of things.

If I feel like the product is relatively safe (ie. dental grade materials and no toxic effects or no risk of seriously f*cking up my teeth with the etching gel, etc) then I will buy it, but I'm just not sure yet.
