Pringles cap and white balance... again

Sorry for raising this one again but the search doesn't work (uh
oh, same excuse as in the 150 previous posts today .

I remember reading the discussion about using pringles caps for
setting accurate white balance. I finally got a tube of cheese
Pringles (VERY unhealthy! and I must say I like the results of
custom evaluating WB through the cap. Only tried indoors yet and
the colours and skin tones seem more natural than using the
tungsten option. However, I wanted to make sure I'm doing
everything right. What I do now is point my G3 at the brightest
light source available and custom evaluate through the cap, which I
hold in front of the lense so that it fills the frame completely.
Is it how it's supposed to be done or is there a more advanced
approach?

Thanks!

The pringles top is not a bad idea but if you want to use the flash
and set the WB, it would seem that the cap would have to be farther
away from the lens and, thus, not fill the scene. Have you found
this to be a problem?
