Buttons, probably not.  You could probably make a cover that fit over an existing button though.

Right...about the buttons, I was thinking about what Lilwolf was asking about the T2 grenade button

What about protoplast pellets or sheets for the molding. You can cast your clay molds in this stuff to make a positive mold.  It's very rigid after it sits for a while. I use it for custom halloween fangs. It works really well. There are tons of free info on using this stuff on various halloween sites.
