"Burn in" is referring to a common process of touch up.  Some people use a
hot knife (or similar object, could even resemble a soldering iron) to melt
in things like colored shellac into a dent or scratch.  To my (limited)
knowledge, nothing's actually getting "burned", but it's become a common
term.

(Hope that'll do until a better explanation comes along.)
