Double Exposure Question - Shutter Sticking

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II

I have a 35mm Canon EOS Elan that the shutter is sticking on the first shot after its been sitting for more then a minute.

Could I put the body cap on it set it for a multiple exposure and let the shutter bang out a couple of times. Then properly expose the frame with the lens on as a trick to not waste frames.

Basicly:

Shutters sticking on first shot
Set for 3 Exposures
Shoot 2 with cap on
Shoot with lens on and let it advance
use the camera normally till it needs to be put away.

355mm? Talk about large format!

I actually wrote 355m which would be meters even bigger.

I just got it lol, was just curious. SO far out of two rolls only 2 frames have been missing the first shot (shot 1 not 0) and one int he middle or so on both rolls.

Not a bad loss.

Take it to a camera shop, for a 35mm it should be pretty cheap to have it serviced.
