                            A process for preparing an aqueous solution of an N-methylol compound                        
                     of a carboxamide, urethane, urea or aminotriazine that is suitable for finishing a                  
                     cellulose-containing textile material comprising reacting said carboxamide,                         
              urethane, urea or amiotriazine with formaldehyde in an aqueous solution, further

              boron trifluoride addition compound, tetrafluoroboric acid, and a salt of tetrafluoroboric                 
              acid to the aqueous solution during said reaction.                                                         
                     The reference relied upon by the Examiner is:
