Quite (though, I've never used candle wax, personally...but that does give me some ideas). Cotton balls, when sopped in the latex and pulled over ridges produce a really nice tendon-y torn flesh look. Paper towels sort of pull apart for decayed skin, and can be rolled to create further sinewy goodness. Panty hose is another option (holes can be created for a stretched, old skin appearance). Super simple!
Another medium which I rather like is Elmer's Carpet Adhesive (with latex). Extremely sticky (of course), fully dries in a few days to a nice, durable, rubbery cover. I've used woodstain and acrylics to colour it. Cheaper than using costume latex.
Here's a piece of a current project using the carpet adhesive, paper towels and cotton. Far from finished but you get the general idea of texture --
