that should be plenty.  Try adding a bit of water as well, maybe another 5%.  Depends on your base, humidity, how long the run is, etc.  White will require more water than something like a yellow.

Scott: any special notes to get it to go all the way through easier/better?
Pretty sure Rutland makes a additive that helps pull the technique off.
