I've had the same thing just recently on a piano I sent to Mexico to be refinished. They did a beautiful job, but now all of the buttons are melting, and I'm not at all sure what to do about it.

Subject: Melted rubber buttons
Hello. I recently saw a piano that originally had rubber head nails for bumper, Someone replaced them with the mushroom style bumper and glued them on. The customer said it was a long time ago. Now those rubber bumpers have melted. She said the piano never got hot, so I'm wondering if maybe the glue they used reacted chemically with the rubber. This was the bumper glued to the lid prop.
