Default Can I stick two 4 gauge and one 6 gauge wire into a 3/4" conduit

Would it be legal and possible to use 3/4" conduit to carry two 4 ga
conductors (hots) and one 6 ga conductor (neutral). That would be for
possibly upgrading a garage subpanel with existing 3/4" conduit. Most
bends would incorporate electrical boxes.

NO

Pipe is too small to meet code, and you'll never get them thru.
Use the gray PVC made for that, and go at least 1 inch, 1 1/4 is
better.
