Abstract
Methods and equipment to apply a decorative surface on a building panel wherein the surface includes a mix of fibers, binders, wear resistant particles and pigments. Layers may be applied as separate layers with equipment that applies essentially only one of the materials in the surface mix.

A method of forming a layer on a substrate, the method comprising:
- forming a first layer of a first material,
- applying a second layer of a second material on the first layer,
- mixing the first and second layers into a mix comprising the first and the second material, and
- applying the mix on a substrate for forming the layer,
- wherein a brush performs the mixing of the first and second layers while the first and second layers are on a moveable transportation device and the applying of the mix on the substrate is through a mesh.

A method of forming a layer on a substrate, the method comprising:
- applying a first material onto a moveable transportation device to form a first layer of the first material on the moveable transportation device, the moveable transportation device being a roller which rotates along a circular conveying path,
- conveying the first layer with the moveable transportation device along a portion of the circular conveying path,
- applying a second material onto the first layer to form a second layer on top of the first layer on the moveable transportation device,
- mixing the first and second layers while the first and second layers are being conveyed by the moveable transportation device along the circular conveying path, the mixing creating a mix comprising the first and the second material, the first material and the second material being more evenly distributed in the mix after the mixing than before the mixing,
- removing the mix from the moveable transportation device, and
- applying the mix through a mesh on the substrate to form the layer.

- the moveable transportation device is a roller,
- the roller comprises a top portion and a side portion,
- the first and second materials are applied on the top portion of the roller, and
- the mixing of the first and second layers occurs at the side portion of the roller.
