How to have completely balanced thirds (harmonic)?

I'm sure this has been addressed before. How do you train your fingers to be completely even and balanced on ascending and descending thirds?

From what Bernhard was saying in another thread, you want to try and get even sound [i.e use your fingers in a way so that the sound is even, rather than trying to play evenly to get an even sound] - that doesn't explain how, although you mind find it explained better if you search for the original.
