A process for use with a polymer which is crosslinkable by reaction with an amino resin, which comprises the steps of determining a period of time within which full gelation of the polymer is to be achieved; preparing a gel-forming aqueous-based mixture comprising the polymer, a rapid amino resin crosslinking agent and a delayed amino resin crosslinking agent, the gel-forming aqueous-based mixture capable of complete gelation within the period of time so determined; partially gelling the aqueous-based mixture by reacting the polymer with the rapid amino resin crosslinking agent which is effective to complete the partial gelation by crosslinking the polymer within four hours; and fully gelling the aqueous-based mixture by reacting the polymer with the delayed amino resin crosslinking agent which is effective to complete the full gelation by crosslinking the polymer within the period of time so determined. A method of enhancing the recovery of oil from a subterraean oil-bearing formation is also provided.
