I would think in a city the size of Boston you'd have woodworking stores that carry veneer, otherwise I hear eBay has a few vendors. I stocked up on veneer from flea markets and old cabinets years ago so I haven't searched for any in a long time. I would think if it was too thick you could use a sanding block to get it to the right thickness easy enough.

When you're done with the Goop cleaning let the cabinet sit for a few days for the oils (used to soften the hands) to evaporate. I prefer an original finish even if it is not perfect, so I'll suggest what someone else did in your deleted thread. Apply some Old English Scratch Cover or Howard's Restore-A-Finish per directions. Then after that sits a few days apply some good paste wax. I like Johnson's paste wax or Minwax dark colored paste wax, and some like Howard's Feed-N-Wax (but I haven't tried that yet).

There are many techniques for veneer patching as a Google search will reveal, but here are three ways I've used in the past with good results, although I use wood glue instead of epoxy. Practicing your chosen technique on an old cabinet is highly recommended.

Edit: It looks like our own Old Restorer has started a thread on veneer replacement:
