He says:
"Commercial liquid hide glues have gel suppressants & remain liquid at 
room temperature. They are not quite as useful for most instrument work: 
slightly greater tendency for the joint to "creep," lower moisture & 
heat resistance, short shelf life, no initial tack. Many instrument 
makers and repairers use liquid hide glue, but they are (or should be) 
careful to test each batch, in addition to watching the expiration date 
printed on the bottle."

Which is enough for me to  say that he doesn't like 'em.

that they're different in some ways than the homebrew.  IME, the glue holds. 
And comes apart when you want it to.
