Vincent, Thank you for your response. We spoke with a local concrete contractor and he mentioned wiping the epoxy with acetone, sanding lightly with an orbital sander and then recoating with wax. He has limited experience with countertops, but has extensive experience with flooring and outdoor jobs.
Does this sound like a reasonable approach? You mentioned that stripping is messy. It isn't a full blown epoxy, just an aqua poxy that is water based. Do you have a recommendation for a good urethane floor wax or other wax? Thank you again for your help!

I really like how smooth these concrete counters are. What is the finishing process that is used to avoid sharp corners and an overall glossy finish? I noticed someone mentioned another thread about it, could you give me the link? http://www.northwarrenstampcrete.com

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Ivon Street Studio added this to Kitchen Counters: Concrete, the Nearly Indestructible Option
The basics: Concrete is composed of water, a binder and a filler.The binder, cement, is most commonly Portland cement, but slag cement and fly ash — both industrial waste by-products — are becoming common additions.The filler, an aggregate, can be anything from sand, gravel and stone to crushed glass and beads.Concrete counters are either precast or cast onsite (also known as cast in place).Precast concrete counters are cast offsite by a local artisan, who pours the counter based on a template of the layout.Cast-in-place (or site-cast) concrete counters are poured right on top of the cabinets and finished in place.Cost: $100 to $150 per square foot installed.

What I like about this is the way that the indoors extends into the outdoors. I love when outdoor elements things ( natural ), gets brought indoors, and indoor things gets brought outdoors.
