That looks just about right.

An obvious extra tip, but you never know: when you are pumping out the resin mix, press one pump of resin, one pump of hardener one of resin one of hardener etc, alternating for each stroke. I always start with resin and end the final stroke with hardener.

If you do this, even if you lose count you won't get a bad mix.

It also helps if you keep the resin containers in a warm spot, like next to a heater so it stays very fluid. That way you don't have to wait interminably for the pump handles to rise back up between strokes.
