Method of manufacturing a building element and a building element

A method of manufacturing a building panel, the method comprising:

• applying a first layer on a first surface of a substrate, the first layer comprising a mixture of a binder, at least one wood filler and a mix of fine non-pigment cohesive particles, the mix containing at least 70% of fine non-pigment cohesive particles with a length in their largest dimension of 2.5 μm or less, wherein the fine non-pigment cohesive particles are in the mixture in an amount of between 0.05 wt % and 9 wt % of the mixture, wherein the fine non-pigment cohesive particles are configured to contribute to a flowability of the mixture of the first layer when the first layer is applied on the first surface of the substrate, wherein a cohesion force of said cohesive particles exceeds a cohesive force of said at least one wood filler;
• and
• applying heat and/or pressure to the first layer and/or the substrate thereby forming the building panel,
• wherein the fine non-pigment cohesive particles include barium sulphate.
