Hi Steve, I use only my rub. I do use mustard on pork butt from time to time but you know it's a matter of taste. If you like it then go with it. Thats what Q'in is all about! Have fun.

The last spares I cooked I applied mustard to them before rubing. It did help keep the rub on the ribs. Downside - you get mustard all over your hands

It will help on the bark imho. But I dont slather ribs near as often as I do butts, that is a must for me.
Normally I do add yellow mustard to the ribs before rubbing and it both helps the rub to stick and I feel gives a thicker bark. The last time I didnt add the mustard and the bark was much less, but then again that was what I was going for.
As for the mustard on the hands I put a latex glove on one hand ( the spreading hand) and have my rub shaker in the other. Without the glove I find my fingertips yellow for 2 to 3 days.

Perhaps a small pastry brush...squirt the mustard on and brush away.

Jim,
I'm not one of those people who are scared of, well, anything and everything (no bottled water in my house in other words) but you should be careful using latex on food. Some people...nurses and doctors usually...are seriously allergic to latex. In some cases, exposure can lead to anaphylactic shock.
My dad was an anesthesiologist and developed a severe allergy to the stuff after years of everyday use. My sister in law is not a health care worker, and is very allergic as well.
Here's a blurb about it from the American Academy of Family Physicians:
Natural latex from the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis is an allergen in persons with significant cumulative latex exposure, such as those in the health care and rubber industries, as well as those undergoing repeated surgeries, especially if they undergo surgeries early in life. Symptoms of latex allergy may progress rapidly and unpredictably to anaphylaxis.
Just a heads up.

Phil,
Thanks for the info and Im very careful of the latex allergy since my wife is a nurse and I am an EMT. Actually its the only reason I use them, I have so many at my disposal.
Very true that everyone should be aware of the allergy and should be conscious of it. Perhaps it is something that should be stressed on this board. It definately isnt something to be taken lightly. For those of you who dont know anaphylactic shock can equal death. Its nothing to be messed with.
