This product works great. The 35% solution is much stronger than the other versions, and hence, you don't need to leave it applied for so long. The unofficial directions I received with my order said you can leave on the 35% Opalescence for up to two hours. However, the PDF instruction sheet that you can download directly from the Opalescence website, says specifically to not leave the 35% applied for more than a half an hour.
I would recommend that new users keep the solution on for less time in the beginning, gradually building up tolerance. The PF version also contains fluoride to help control sensitivity.
When first using the 35%, I left it on for about two hours, and I did experience some sensitivity. The sensitivity went away in a day or two, no problem. After using it a few more times, I am now able to leave it on for about two hours with no sensitivity whatsoever. I cannot imagine trying to sleep with trays in, because you definitely don't want to swallow any of this stuff. That's one of the main benefits of using the stronger 35% solution: Reduced tray wear time.
Since you won't be licking your lips or swallowing for a while, I like to apply a bit of chapstick to my lips, and have a good drink of water before getting started.
The PDF instruction sheet from the Opalescence website also states that you should use approximately one third to one half (total) of a syringe worth of solution to fill both trays. Good to know.
To target specific stains, I add a little extra to that spot on the tray, and I apply a bit of solution directly to my teeth. The syringe makes it easy to put the product right where you want it. Don't bother putting solution on the back of the trays, because no one is going to look at the back of your teeth.
The date codes were explained to me this way: The numbers indicate a month and year of expiration. For instance, V023 indicates that the product expires in February of 2013. The seller I bought from was Jawtooth.
As far as trays go, a standard custom mouth guard worked well, though obviously custom fitted trays from your dentist will work better. The mouth guards can be had for about a buck a piece in retail stores, but if you buy them on Amazon, you get three for under two bucks. Nice to have an extra in case of a misfitting.
The results this product produces are fantastic. I had a dentist ask me if my teeth were caps. (they're not) No kidding. I will use this product for as long as Amazon sells it. There is no reason whatsoever to waste your time and money on store bought white strips, solutions, toothpaste, or mouthwash. This product really does whiten your teeth much better.
Hope my experience makes using the product a bit easier and less intimidating for you. I'll update if I think of anything else helpful or relevant.

When I first tried the 35% it burned my gums . Now I paint the whitening on my teeth with a tiny paint brush and then put the trays on my teeth & no burning they can stay on for 2 hours with no problem.

I have used this product before but always used 20%. I decided to try 35% this time. The first time I tried it, I applied it like I would the 15%. Big mistake. This product is much stronger. I normally kept the 15% on my teeth overnight but had to remove the 35% within 30 minutes due to the pain and discomfort. When I removed the tray, my gums were extremely irritated and inflamed. I did not re-apply that night. The following night (and this may sound crazy), I applied a thin layer of Vaseline to my gums prior to placing the trays on my teeth. I still felt a little irritation but not nearly as much as I did the night before. My teeth are much whiter. I do recommend this product but I do not recommend the 35% version. Try the 15% or 20% first. You will thank me later.

Super Strong!
Works great! I get so many compliments on how white my teeth are but I must make clear that I use the custom made trays from the dents office.

painful product! Beware!
First of all Opalescence is a very good product, it is the strength of this whitening solution that is the problem. It is much too strong and caused jolts of pain in my teeth. Read more

Want White? This product is for you....
People noticed a difference shortly after starting using this product. It is strong and has the ability to "burn" your gums if one is not careful. Read more

hardly noticeable despite two different batches
I've tried two different batches of this product. Both were within the expiration periods, so they should have worked. Read more
