I don't know how they do it but their ads claim that the layers do burn
together. I do not that I have rubbed out runs and have not gotten witness
lines unlike some other products. I have used the lacquer for the past two
or three years and I find it very accommodating. I can put on three, four
or sometimes five coats in one day. After the first coat, I sand with a
440-600 foam pad to knock off the raised grain. I usually find that three
coats is more than adequate for my furniture so I can get one side
completely finished and make a good start on the second side in one day.

I copied this from their site:

acrylic engineered to provide the discriminating finisher with a
water-white, 100% burn-in coating that will out perform typical
nitrocellulose lacquers and catalyzed finishes. Developed for high-end
applications where durability, chemical resistance and ease-of-use is
mandatory.
Oxford Premium Spray Lacquer will out perform conventional nitro-lacquers
and CAB Acrylic systems without the environmental and safety issues
associated with solvent based products.

Ideally suited for kitchen cabinets, high-build lacquer applications or
flush-fill production runs, Oxford Premium Spray Lacquer offers a
ready-to-shoot, one-part finish that matches conventional lacquer dry time
and recoat schedules. By offering a higher solids content, Oxford Premium
Spray Lacquer lowers VOC emissions upwards of 50%*. Engineered to be HAPS
Free (Hazardous Air Pollutants) Oxford Premium Spray Lacquer eliminated
hazardous solvent exposure in the workplace.

Oxford Premium Spray Lacquer offers versatility and flexibility in
application and final finish needs. Oxford PSL is engineered to handle a

clear coat over dark woods and stains. Oxford PSL readily accepts tints and
dyes and can be color adjusted with Trans-TintT Dyes.

How does water based lacquer burn in? Isn't that a function of the
solvent in subsequent coats?

I'm not familiar at all with the stuff, but I'm intrigued. I would
love to use lacquer that isn't an extreme health and explosion hazard.
