Actually it does have literature.
All so you do not use any sulfuric acid in its making! and especially non in making copper Nitrate.
If you had made fulminated copper wet or not it will detonate.

from another pdf
Cu-orofulminate
is very light gray shading slightly into green-- perhaps even white as chloride if it is not influenced by light, and is stable when kept dry but
oxidizes easily in moist air. Heat of detonation is 508 cal/g. Sensitivity to temperature increase is approximately that of fulminating mercury and
cadmium but is less sensitive to impact than the latter.
Its density is lower than that of the other heavy-metal fulminates and its working density consequently only slightly higher than that of the thallium
salt; its shattering power is appreciably greater, however, and is only slightly below that of cadmium fulminate.

So, you where saying about knowing what you are doing? A simple google search yielded, these, some I have on hand, what you are playing with can
remove your life, never mind hands, the gas by products can kill you as well, and fuliminic acid is poisonous its self.

Missed one, long read but goes in depth of the chemistry known at the time
