Just a warning: Just because you check the gascolator screen doesn't mean you're home free. The much worse problem would be a big piece (flake) of sloshing compound draping  itself over the pickup tube/mesh inside the tank. Now that you're only pumping from your left tank, that's a much bigger problem.
Presumably, turning off your pumps and vigorously rocking the wings could dislodge it, but not a recommended practice during take-off :)

Tracy,  Glad to hear you made it back safe.  I'm curious, where are the lint
fibers coming from?  Were you missing a rag when you finished your tanks :-)
