C to about 90.degree. C and a number average molecular weight (M.sub.n) of between about 2000 and about 10,000; and an organic di- or poly-carboxylic acid or di- or poly-carboxylic acid anhydride crosslinking agent, said crosslinking agent being present in an amount of from about 0.8 to about 1.1 crosslinkable functional groups for each hydroxy group in the copolymer.
