I used regular indoor 10/3 cable (2 runs) in a single 3/4" conduit for feeds and 12/3 indoor in conduit for lights. I only got hit on one thing: You can't have more than (4) 90 degree bends in any one conduit run without an access point. I did the bonding also, but with all the confusion about it - let the electrician do it when he makes all the connections. I saved about $800 buying and running the electrical.
Just something to point out on this suggestion.
Did you use ROMEX cable or single wires for this install?
For proper cooling of the wire, wire in conduit must be individual wires, not multiwire wrapped cables such as ROMEX. As well their size cannot use more than 60% of the space for wires.
2 - 10/3 combos in a 3/4" conduit will consume more than 60% of the space and would lead to overheating inside the conduit.
The wires insulation will breakdown when overheated. You may need to repull the correct wiring for this install, especially if you used ROMEX style wire (that which is inside your walls that you have to split to get to the wires).
Also, 10/3 is rated for 30 Amps up to a certain length of wire. What amperage are you running on this circuit? Based on the length you may need to increase to 8/3 instead, again because of resistance causing a voltage drop over the long length of wires.
