I coated it in paste wax, set it centered in a shallow rectangular tray that was a few inches bigger than the part on each side and then poured epoxy into the tray filling it about 1/2" up the height of the part.
Once hardened, I popped out the piece, and was left with essentially a 1/2" thick piece of plastic with an opening shaped exactly like my part. That opening became the bearing surface for my pattern routing bit. Perfect template!
I hope that made sense, I can't find a picture.
Now that is a cool idea
