Carolyn, you can, the rule of thumb is supposed to be 5% of the overall glass can be 96 when using 104 as a base. But, that rule can be stretched due to the 96 often having lead content with allows it to be more "compatible".

The funny thing is it does not work the other way around. You cannot use 96 base glass with 104 frit, especially on the surface. Cracks galore!
