Can I Do This?
I want to make sugar beads with a Bullseye (90 Coe) base bead and use Reichenbach (96 Coe) Lead Crystal....am I going to end up with cracking?

Probably, I do some with 96 on Effetre and they don't pop off. Just make sure you make sure they are on well with some flashes of heat after you do your initial roll.

Yes. You should have no issues. Keep the 25% rule, or whatever #% you use it with 104. (I know that # varies with different peoples reads and or options. )

From what I understand a higher coe can hold on to a lower one (104 can take a little 96) because the higher number expands and contracts more, but a lower coe can not "hold onto" a higher one for the same reason. Your frit will probably expand more than the base and crack off or just crack, but if it were me I would have to try it and see for myself no matter what anyone else said.
